Fuel prices fall

[degrom]

Shell reduced its petrol and diesel prices by 3c a litre at 10am today, and was soon followed by BP.

The cut made 91 octane 139.9c a litre, 95 octane 144.9 and diesel 95.9.

Watch them go up next week because the dollars slipped 3%

I like the way you are thinking!!!

[quickbuck]

May be cynical, but on the money there.

[bugjuice]

fuk sake you lot!!! you all bitch n moan every single time they go up, and when they come down, no one says a thi....... 'ang on....




crap. :shutup:

It's about time they dropped the price! Currency has been getting stronger and crude oil has been dropping. Guess they've now dropped it because most people have come back from Christmas holidays. I'm sure it'll go back up in two weeks time when the schools start up because kids are too fat/lazy to walk.

Anyway, I'm sure it'll have gone up by the time my bike needs fuel. Last tanked in November and have burnt ~2 litre so far. Will be a few more months before the next top up.

It's about time they dropped the price! Currency has been getting stronger and crude oil has been dropping. I think the reason its dropping is because the states have had quite a mild winter and have'nt need as much to burn on there oil fired heating systems. So demand has been low.

I've not even had to fill mine up yet, but I'm sure I'll be weeping when I do, mind you, it can't use that much more gas than the last one can it?

[gamgee]

just saw countdown has 10c off a litre for every $70 you spend, so that'd bring the price down to $1.29 for 91

[disenfranchised]

Plus those fuel discount savings things have ramped up to save 10c per litre now.

Not that my bike uses much petrol anyway

[riffer]

12c a litre at Upper Hutt Pak N'Save, and it has its own petrol station on site too.

We swiped the Shop N'Go thingie just before Xmas and it gave us a 20c savings coupon.

Great news:yes: , bugger I filled my cage up just before it came down at like 9:30 this morning:angry:

ah well, you woulda saved maybe $1 by waiting half an hour...

It's happening already - Druzhba pipeline has been shut (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6240473.stm) - Opec will tighten the taps in February (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,236498,00.html?sPage=fnc.business/energy) - prices are going up as we speak - from $55 to $57.

[BUNGY]

Personally I prefer the price being highish because the Kr doesn't cost much anyway and I can laugh at my mates that seem to think bikes are crap and their $500 nana cars are so cool cause they have a cheap paint job and mags worth 3 times as much as the car itself.
Also means less traffic as people are tryin to save on gas.

[Quartermile]

Sh!t yea all the more reason to mock cages

[MyGSXF]

I remember the days when I used to ride my Kermit the Frog green Pasola into the petrol station.. & fill er up for 90 cents!!!!!!

:killingme

Prices over here are between $1.10 and $1.23/ltr for Unleaded 91, depending on where you buy your fuel. The prices vary from state to state, with Queensland being the cheapest.

Although is that in Australian dollars??

[bikemike]

Don't see the point of this discussion. Each price movement up and down is a blip and a distraction for which you are all falling.

The only thing worth talking about is how long will it take to start an unstoppable rise? What will we be running our bikes on then....

[Hillbilly]

Yes. But then it's all relative, as I live and work here. I earn Aussie dollars, and that's what I pay at the pump. Hope it lasts....a little while at least.

Plenty of oil now - the US is just in the process of privatising Iraq's oil fields...which will benefit,,,,,the oil companies!
Freed up a 1/3rd of the worlds known reserves for the big boys to exploit!

Notice how it only goes down 3 cents for every 5 it goes up!

[Bonez]

The only thing worth talking about is how long will it take to start an unstoppable rise? What will we be running our bikes on then....Having resonable economical bike petrol I guess.
