Fuel Price

[Ixion]

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!!

YES!. Listen to the man. The wisdom is spreading.Nationalise the bastiges NOW. Vote Communist.

Warning! Once I reach Sweden, I may not be leaving for some time.

Until you discover how horrifically expensive alcohol is in Scandinavia...

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.

Go and pick up a magic this Sat, bye bye fuel problems. Might have to buy another one so that Mrs IL4 and myself have one each.

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.

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

Nice of them to anticipate price rises immediately then, but not the decreases...
Fucken cartel doing whatever 'it' wants, and us right where they want us

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

I just filled up the missus SUV at BP with 98. $160 bucks.

Still not as expensive as milk. Milk used to be 6c/l when I were a lad.

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 .

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)!
