Petrol price cycle

What about those who live where there is no fuel discount dockets??

Cheers Kev

Have noticed that Shell raises its price quiet often the amount of the d docket above others within the radious . I dont see any way to beat the big ones. BP has a discount card but with a limit per month and a yearly fee I conclude it is wiser to watch the prices displayed [catch is here they do not display diesel prices,no guessing why]

3LO.

Showing your age their David LOL. And, yeah, I still call it 3LO too.

I heard it as well, kinda reminded me of the classic Basil Fawlty line:

"Next contestant on Mastermind is Sybil Fawlty. Her specialty subject is the bleeding obvious"

Well we wouldn't support the Independents when these ass*holes were undercutting them,buying more fuel to get better wholesale price's,fuel dockets etc etc

So where at that place where we were warned about years ago..
Its time to pay our dues.

Believe it or not - the consumer has ALL the power. IF we could encourage people NOT to purchase fuel when it is at the peak of the 'discount cycle(s)' then the oil companies would be 'encouraged' (compelled ?) to 'perhaps' extend their discounting cycles. I firmly believe that if consumers were united and were able to boycott or restrict their spending then there is virually nothing that couldn't be achieved in forcing prices down and creating more realistic competition. Applies to almost every commodity or service that you can think of.

A lot of people rave about using your shopper dockets.
I may shop at Woolies sometimes but I don't buy the Caltex fuel at their outlets for two reasons.
1) If I were to fill up the old girl from dead empty, 140 litres, @ 4 cents a litre is only $5.60 or 3.43 litres @ 1.629 a litre.
Yeah right that's a huge saving. Now I'm not saying I'm flush with cash, but It's two stubbies at the local bottlO.
I know, how dare I compare things to beer, but hey it's all relevant.
And I would be lucky to use that much diesel in a fortnight. I realise some people would use 4_6 times that or more a week.
2) Call me crazy, but the old girl runs likes a bucking bronco on Caltex diesel.
So what I might save in one hand I lose in the other because I don't get has many Km's per Litre.
Not happy 'Jan' to be paying 20-25 cents a litre more than Unleaded.
You know? the people that can change things won't, because they would not care if fuel was $3.00 or more a litre.

And what does the NRMA say, 'Drive around and find the cheapest fuel, yeah right I could use more than 5 litres finding cheaper.
That makes sense. :-~

Rant over.
