Fuel Price

[jimbo600]

Well price of fuel per Barrel has dropped as of this morning. Price of fuel at the pump has decreased in Aussie. So why has BP yet again raised its forecourt prices? I tell ya folks we being rorted by the big green one. So fuck em I say.

[cowpoos]

agree with you totally bro....they can go play hide and go find them selves....and they hav the most expensive pie's !!!!

[DemonWolf]

What alternative did you have in mind jimbo600? =)

[Fishy]

Fuck petrol prices are rediculous!. I went through $145 worth in the car last week. Just one week!. Thats going to work and back then to Uni twice. Grrrrrr

[jimbo600]

What alternative did you have in mind jimbo600? =)

Well I won't use BP for gas. (I will for the butter chicken pies though) and I cycle to work these days saving heaps. 30km each way. The GSXR is being converted to bio deisel too.

I guess there aint too much we can do, but hey if we all boycotted BP they might pull their heads in a bit.

[Grahameeboy]

Yeah but you are saving on fuel for motorbike........whoops was that the right thing to say!!!:killingme

[MrMelon]

It cost me $8.50 to fill the street magic yesterday! It used to be under $6 a tank! I shall plot BP's demise.

[SwanTiger]

Buy a Hyosung, $25 = 450 - 500km

Jimbo, how much is it costing you for the convesion to Bio Diesel and where exactly (as in Gas Station) do you purchase the fuel from, also what is the price of Bio Diesel per litre?

Sounds interesting.

Way to go... cycling to work. Wish I could do that, 74k's one way.. and it gets real freakin windy this side of Mt Taranaki.

hmm bio deisel.... how do you think your bike will run on that?

[Finn]

Spare a thought for the poor Swedes. I was talking to someone the other day and they mentioned it was $2.42 a litre. Not sure if that included VAT which is 20%.

It will go higher no doubt.

[Swoop]

Poms in London are over 1 pound per litre... do the math on that one and its around $3.00

BP is always the first to put prices UP.

As a percentage of income we've had it really good for a really long time. We still aren't anywhere near European prices as a percentage of income.

[DemonWolf]

hmmm.. that fuelwatch site seems like a really good idea. Pity there's not one for NZ eh

[yungatart]

We won't be boycotting BP as it is our preferred station. We get 3 c/l discount there, doesn't make sense to go anywhere else.

[Smorg]

Spare a thought for the poor Swedes. .

Who gives a shit if the swedes pay more for gas, they have way hotter women and should be made to pay

[Finn]

[SimJen]

Yes but you can't really convert......it should be 1 pound for 1 dollar.
They earn pounds and we earn dollars, realistically 1 pound isn't so bad.
My mate over there earns 40k pounds and he's happily paying a pound/litre likening it to when he lived and paid $1 a litre in NZ. In fact most of my mates are earning similar money to me (figuratively) but pound sterling.
With living costs being higher, it all works out similar.

[Smorg]

:mega:
But their woman are more expensive too. Market forces in action.

I once paid $300 for a 55yo tongan, I know expensive women............ Most of the chicks in Sweden while i was there were great fun, and tended buy their own drinks, hassle free matenince

That'll teach you for paying for sex by the kilo. Swedes are good chicks. I'm currently on my second one. Good value for money.

And what, young man do you mean by that? I've just had bad luck with 18 gilfriends. There's nothing wrong with me, it's them I tell yah.

I'm never unfaithful. It's just that the gap between girlfriends can get a bit marginal at times.

[Finn]

It was 35 last time...geeze guess you loose count after a while eh?

"ever cross over..cause all you will get is left overs!!"

[madboy]

So how is BP any different to the others? What one does the others follow, or if they don't follow the other soon drops back to what the "market" spelt C A R T E L is doing. I fed $26 into the beast the other day, for 217kms, some of which was done carefully obeying the road rules.

Don't like it, then let's all buy GN250s and trade the Lexus in on a Prius.

But they can be torture. My son is currently in Sweden. When he arrived he found that he had to share a 1 bedroom flat with two gorgeous blondes. Only three days in the country and these two girls forced him to go to a soccer club end of season party. Only he found out it was a female soccer club, and he was the the only guy there with over 30 girls.

Now I know he has got at least the equal stamina of his old man, but 30 girls :grouphug: is just a bit more than a menage de trois.

Um I'm not really converting the gixxer to bio deisel. I was aving a larf I was.

[Postie]

back to the point of the thread. it almost makes it justifiable to drive/ride up to a garage with a fake plate printed and pasted to your vehicle, fill up and fuck off. It feels like the gas companies are steeling from us anyway, so why not steal one tank of gas a month top make up for it. I have never stolen anything of any value in my life but every time the price of a barrel increases, the companies increase the price and say its becuase the barrel has increased, but it dropped by a US dollar yesterday and they put it up 3 cents, so how does that make sense. If there was any truth in their justification that the prices rises with the barrel cost, then why does it not go the other way?

[Finn]

Ill be in Stockholm visiting relly's for a month before carrying on to the uk. Recommendations?

That depends on what tickles your fancy.

[hXc]

I want to go to Sweden now......

[skelstar]

Dont know for sure but the cart...I mean oil companies set the price based on what price they bought the oil for. It could be that we are paying for oil they bought weeks ago.

Oil is brought as a commodity, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days out - sometimes longer depending on how the oil company is hedging.

I spent three months there arount his time a couple of years ago with my ex girlfriend (exchange student):msn-wink: It is starting to warm up a bit over there now and there should be plenty to do. Check out the arcapealago (not even gonna try spell it right) it's fantastic. Also the royal castle and such are great attractions (not to mention the girls). Word of caution, watch out for the snus, the bloody stuff will put you on your ass!!

or should that be more...Owairaka......."Burquas are Us".....

[mdb]

Isn't the price related to demand and right now China is wanting more and more? That means that supply is tight so it costs more (profiteering statement comes to mind here).

Personal rant is that this is the fault of capitalism and public companies. All any public business is interested in these days is money and lots of it. Seems almost reasonable given the price of fuel!!

[vixter]

Fuck petrol prices are rediculous!. I went through $145 worth in the car last week. Just one week!. Thats going to work and back then to Uni twice. Grrrrrr

What about the theiving government?With every price increase they get more tax.
I saw that lying, hippy cunt Hodgeson trying to put it across that the opposite is the case.That they get less tax with every price increase because poeple don't have the money to spend on other things because they have to spend it on gas.

I guess he figures that seeing as the idiots voted for labour for a third time they really must be morons and will believe any thing.

Not quite true

The tax's on gas are a fixed cost per liter meant for roading and the like and the GST content on total price.

The only extra money the governmet makes on an increase in price is th GST amount.

If you have $112.50 dollars a week to spend the government is going to get $12.50 regardless of where you spend this money

Too true Jim. But how well does your car run on milk?
Actually milk was 4c a pint when I was a lad. Lucky petrol wasn't cheaper than milk when we were lads then...the school half pint bottles may have been delivered by Mr Caltex. Drink that low octane laddies it'll give you up and go to get you through the school day :sick: .

Sell it now. When petrol hits $2/L those 4WD and SUVs that have cluttered our roads for too long are going to go out of fashion faster than Michael Jackson. You wont be able to give them away with a packet of Weetbix and good riddance.

$1.65 at Shell today, had some discount special on. Wondered why all the cars were lined up? Just drove around them all and straight into a free pump, put $40 in, paid and took off. Good having a small car (Civic)!

Sell it? Hell, I'm thinking of upgrading. Unfortunately for the SUV haters, most of the owners that drive real SUV's ($150K +) have a bit of money to throw around and couldn't care less if petrol was at $4 a litre. We'll still own road supremacy and happily do our part to deplete the worlds oil reserves.

So sorry, you'll still be run off the road. That is of course if you yourself can still afford to gas your vehicles.

That's fine. It's the 90% who wont be able to run them that I'm celebrating. It's far better to be run off the road by a higher class of person in an upmarket vehicle. There's still a silver linning to the price rise. All those 10+ yr old clapped out 4wds Wankjeros, Uglicruisers and ShitheapFinders will be abandoned at the road side soon. Fat ugly Mothers dropping the kids 250m to school may just have to walk off some weight.
There'll be more room on the road for my car which never runs out of petrol. I just switch on auto-fill mode.

Jeez, you musta been pretty hard up then. Shit, when I was a kid milk was free. So was food. And power. And petrol was free too.

Then when I left home Mum wouldn't fill my car up anymore.

[petesmeats]

Well I say that we get a group together and we buy some tickets on some flights... Then we could commandeer the planes and fly them into 5-6 different B.P's at the same time. :finger:

Of course, if you did convert the gsxr to biodiesel you'd have to deep fry everything you ate, so you had a good supply of used vegetable oil to convert to biodiesel.

One and only time I went there was in the 80's and beer was $25 a handle. All the people I stayed with used to get rat arsed in their homes then go out and just buy one handle.

Anti freeze does a roaring trade, or was it vodka, tasted the same.
