Gazza,
I don't know if its the greenies, the watermelons or the cocanuts but I reckon the main reason
its dearer is so that the bloody oil companies can keep the city slickers happy by providing cheap ulp
at around 80-85c litre whilst us us poor buggers in the bush pay around 10c a lite
premiun for ulp and 14c on deisel supposedly for the extra freight - BULL!
Why isn't deisel cheaper - it doesnt cost anthing like ulp to produce and oil is the cheapest
its been in 10 years - don't let em fool you - they are simply ripping off those with the least
political muscle!
Just grin and bear it - I'm still paying 94.3c litre today v ulp at 92.1 whilst my daughter filled up for
79c/l ulp in
Melbourne and that's anywhere she likes.
A least we don't have to put up with the smog!
Cheers
Ron
