I feel safe and secure now

Hi Truckster.

Unfortunately this doesn't affect the Northern Territory apparently there aren't enough of us to warrant this type of scrutiny.

You should have put this in the "Friday Funnies"!

You have posted in the wrong section you silly boy:):):):):):):

The Bigfella

Treasurer Peter Costello said the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACC) would be asked to vigorously monitor prices at the pump in the lead-up to Easter.

Yeh and PIGS might fly ,

hope they started 'watching' last week... cause it's already jumped up!

they wont catch em...they have been saying this for years and havent caught em yet.....so i guess they dont do it eh?

oil companys came out yesterday and said fuel will be going up over the next couple of weeks because of the price of oil not because its a long weekend.
rubish.

I would love to know who they have prosecuted. I have never heard of anyone being 'caught' before.

What ive noticed no one has pointed out yet, is that our fuel price here is tied to the price of singapore base fuel price, a comodity traded worldwide in stock exchanges. I dont know much more, but it is not tied directly to the crude oil price. Perfect example to show these bastards the proof of their conspiring acts towards us, is that 3 weeks ago, if you can get a chart of these two, you can see the that when the crude oil price went down 5 dollars, the singapore base fuel price went up! Thats when we had that jump of ten cents a litre on the tuesday of that week.
Why they get away with this? i have no idea!

The fuel companies have REALLY got thier bleep sorted out, they really know how to get us where it hurts.

You know what the ACCC emblem is don't you?

A giant condom - It gives you a sense of safety and security while being thoroughly screwed

Hey, come on they do a good job - Didn't they just take Glaxo Clyn Smith (?) to court over their false and very misleading statement about Ribbena Juice having three times the amount of vitimum C than oranges - I thought that was very good work by them....

Opps sorry - I didn't realise that it was two 14 year old NZ school girls that worked this out :-((

Maybe they should get those girls to look into our fuel pricing - might do a better job!!!

Yep we are all shot ducks again.

POW!

Truckster,
Already up here in CQ early this week.
Unleaded went from 112.9 (cheapest) to 125.9 overnight. Since come down to 121.9.
For a change diesel stayed at 117.9
Hann't seen anything remotely resembling the ACCC around the place.
Cheers,
Bros.
