$1.20..holy mackeral..and here l was feeling bad about paying $1.08 here in
gladstone where they unload it off the ship...you guys must have to pay a bit extra to load it on for us from the rifinery.
The way l look at it..the govenment is conducting legalized terrorism on it's own people...
well for the voters who put these idiots in power l hope your happy and find the cost of liveing hard ( all the rich pricks love it for the tax breaks they get )

govo,
Well bloke, if you had not purchased a guzzling nissan, you would be a fair bit better off. And shame on you, blaming the Gov that you voted for.
ROFLMAO
Cheers,
Bros.

Don't forget, in Qld you are not paying state fuel tax (which the GST was meant to replace).

$1.24 here in
Peterborough less 5c/l if you
shop locally.
We are just about to take off for the outback and expecting to pay up to $2.50litre at Kunawarrtji in WA.
Them's the breaks.......sigh
The excuse these days is that China is diesel hungry and consuming more and more and therefor the price keeps on going up. With other commodities if you buy more the price usually come down.
Our Government takes 38c/l excise and then also imposes GST on top of the retail price which is at $1.24 a litre= 12 cents. So they are creaming 50c/l everytime someone fuels up.
Nice little earner...eh?

The diesel price in
Adelaide varies from $1.15-$1.23 depending on where you go. What pisses me off is that I use "biodiesel" which is a 50:50mix of bioD and oil D and am only paying a few cents cheaper than the premium diesel (20 BioD/80 OilD). There is no incentive to use the more enviro friendly fuel. I would like to know what the price structure of the biodiesel is as I'm sure that the govt are milking it for all they can get. I have heard that it costs somewhere from $0.20-$0.50 per litre to make and assuming the $0.50 in govt tax grab, where does the rest of the price go? I wouldn't have thought that the servo's would be making that large a profit.
