Petrol price drop. 2c here 7c in Aussie.

[Flyingpony]

"Pump prices dropped by an average 2c a litre yesterday, with Shell dropping its price for 96-octane by 3c. Across the Tasman, prices fell 7c"

From here (http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3408414a11,00.html)

Thought I spotted something different this morning on the way into work - late start.

Damn, across the ditch they got 7c. I must be on the wrong side of the ditch then. Wonder if I can complete my studies over there?

Well snoopy's drunken :apint: ~5l since 31st August so it's not quite reached half way towards reserve.

Woohoo, but beware, its the calm before the storm

the news last night said that oil prices had dropped slightly due to 'a lack of demand' for it.. hmmmmm I wonder why, you theivin bastards..

[John]

I am the oil baron give me you oil.

Its probably due to bushy babe giving the oil companies access to americas massive reserves, I still dont get why everyone is so worried about oil - its got a long run to go yet people.

Global wholesale oil price have dropped from the high of $70 per barrel to $63 per barrel today. That is a 10% drop in wholesale price, but yet the retail prices at the pumps in NZ only dropped 1.2%. WTF?

[R6_kid]

no point getting anal over it... they dont give a fuck about anyone but themselves, and there is no one in NZ that will stand up and tell them where to stick it for real.

Just be glad you are on a bike and only pay an extra $2-3 per tank.

BOYCOTT BP AND MOBIL YA SPINELESS BASTARDS

They're considering blockades of gas stations in the UK now.
What's wrong over here?
Too much inter-breeding with sheep?

[Fart]

Bring on the hydrogen engines. :clap:

[Gremlin]

Why should we boycott Mobil?? They are the only ones to have eftpos at pump besides Pak 'n Save...

I can't walk that far! :weep:

[Lou Girardin]

Another 2 cents has just come off, BP led. Fear of a boycott perhaps?

[Gremlin]

Why can't they warn us when they are going to do this!?! :lol:

I just filled up yesterday :weep:

[John]

edit: I guess you fill at bp :P

[Gremlin]

Oh, I thought it was another 2c like now... I already knew the other 2c...

But I guess it would be optimistic to expect prices to drop that quickly eh? :oi-grr:

edit: where's the other text I was quoting?? And no, not BP, the receipts have crap all info on them for recording fillups. Mobil, eftpos at pump is good :2thumbsup

bahaha, oh god I am so ninja - I figured you filled at BP after I looked at it again - fuel prices all depend on how rich the companies feel like getting - need a few mill to buy a new country, simple "In todays media report *SOANDSO* oil drilling has reported a loss in productivity due to wars in *LIST* and floods in *LIST*." I'm sure thats the template, and to make it seem really realistic Bush Snr gets some of the american reserves for his companies - making the public shit scared and worried about the future.

Or am I just a mental case, either way I think I am meh..
