Just heard the RNZ news that petrol has gone up again...I knew that would happen. How? Because they dropped the price a week or so back. Which usually means they are preparing to jump the price up again...nnnngrgrgrrrr.

I don't expect you'll believe it, but retail petrol has incredibly low margins.
The oil companies make their money before the crude oil gets sold to the refiner for conversion into petrol & diesel fuel.

some guy in a huge tank of a thing asked me the other day at the fuel pumps how much it costs to fill up my bike. When I told him that I've never spent more that $20 to fill up..... he cracked up laughing! and just walked away!. I am sure he thought I was joking! I don't think he believed me at all.

This is quite an odd one as they buy in huge quantities so the price should not fluctuate in just one week since the price reduced.

In reality we pay a pretty reasonable price per litre, I think (at last count) it was the fifth cheapest on the planet, behind Mexico, the US, Canada and Australia.

Well, if you think they make a lot of money then buy some shares in the fuel companies. They are all publicly listed. Then you could share in the profits.

I thought the NZ market was so un-lucative (word?) that Shell and Mobil are thinking of selling all their stations... ?

I really like the way that the oil companies take their turn in being first to lower their prices and first to put them up again. That means there's competition between them, didn't you know.

How dare oil companies make such huge profits!!!!
We should protest NOW and together come up with a few hundred Billions of dollars so we can explore our own oil fields develop via our own research companies, oil rigs, refining plants, petrol stations along with all the logistical stuff
yeah we will show them fuckers that we can drill oil and develop it and distribute it for way below the massively high price of a $1.68 a litre !!!
