Diesel ripeoff?

Yeah!! you know you are getting screwed each and every time you fill up. Unlike the petrol owners, they dont know when they are being screwed!!!

hahahaha Michael. We had a 26c/litre differential diesel/petrol earlier this week. Now its down to around 12c. Ouch! Sometimes we do know when we're being screwed LOL

Michael,

Relief at last. ULP $1.159 Diesel $1.347 LOLOL

And I thank you all from the bottom of my wallet :))))))))

Now lets see. What excuses have been trotted out by the oil company spin twits in the past ?
China is buying most of the oil so we have to pay more
There's a huge demand for heating oil in the States, its their winter
We haven't used our stocks from the last expensive batch yet

10 years ago. There's less demand for diesel so its more expensive.

I'm sure that you can supply your own.

Only passing on what a mate who's relatively high up in the Shell marketing dept told me... He was drunk though...

I believe we are subsidising the diesel fuel repate for transport co's and primary producers...

Carefull there Alex, make sure your facts are correct before you start sprouting mate.

rick.

Thats what I was told a few years back. I never presented it as gospel truth, merely as my belief. I may be wrong, but while we still have free speech I will continue to give my opinion.

try $1.485 in the North West WA
:(

Hahahaha chill Feral chill :)))))

Gramps, not everyone's got shares in the energy sector ya know :)))))))

Footloose,

I wish I did !!! Was only talking to SWMBO the other day. If a bloke had half a brain he'd have shares in the energy, banking, childcare and retirement home sectors. I don't think you can lose on any of them :))))

LOL Footloose

I can't think of a single Govt (State or Federal) that can think/plan anything beyond the next election. But I've been known to be just a tad cynical in the past in regards to our elected representatives :)))))

Absolutely Nothing!

Absolutely Nothing! ..........and then we wonder why nothing gets done.

How do governments get in and how do government get out???

THEY GET VOTED IN BY US AND THEY GET VOTED OUT BY US!!!

It set by the Singapore market they say!!!

well not exactly "by" the SIngapore market.

More "to" the Singapore market.

Petrol (and I presume diesel) distributors have to set their wholesale prices in line with the Singapore based price because, allegedly, that is the place where they could choose to sell their refined product if they wished - or if they are importing, that is the most likely place they would get it.

Of course in the time since this was introduced the world market has become just that, and the commodity can be bought and sold anywhere without any shipment needing to happen - so who know's what market they bought it in.

Basically the system is an abortion.

Thats what i meant, They would hardly telling us what to do!!
