A long-running fapazine of John Bangsund. For a time he stopped it and published Perergon Papers, but later declared it to be a continuation of Philosophical Gas. It appeared in FAPA, ANZAPA and OMPA.

In issue 32 he described it thusly: 

Philosophical Gas, despite my occasional outbursts to the contrary, continues to be very largely concerned with science fiction. I've tried to interest my moronic readers in a better class of literature, such as the works of Thomas Love Peacock, Brian O'Nolan and Lennie Lower, but sf keeps on rearing its ugly head and I guess I just have to live with that if I want to go on publishing (and I do, I do: I don't know why, but I do!) so PG must be regarded as a science fiction fanzine.

It is also, as John Clark up there in Queensland remarked a few issues back, my private diary. It isn't as intimate a diary as, say, Dick Geis's, but it's a diary and I like to think I am among friends when I sit down in front of a blank stencil and begin to recount the momentous and other events in my life.
