Fuel cost...what fuel cost ?

That's one hell of a benefit these days mate!!, Hope he realizes it?... Now if someone would just pay my fuel a/c...lol.



Cheers Axle.

$1.72 a litre in Glen Waverley at the moment. Happy to work for 15 litres an hour!!

Wouldnt that be nice. Coming home today saw the petrol/diesel prices. Petrol $138.9/ diesel 179.9 WTF. Nearly choked on my drink. Becoming a joke. Regards Steve M

I'm thinking of making some T shirts with the slogan "Will work for fuel ." Perhaps if the pollies saw enough of them they might try and find a way to save the average motorist.
Well I can dream, can't I ? :)

Oh diddums. The poor city forumites are starting to get slugged the prices we were paying months ago.... :o)

Last Thursday morning. Drove out of Melbourne where diesel could still be bought for $1.625 /ltr. Less than 100km down the road it was $1.759 a ltr.

Stayed that way all the way to Lakes Entrance.

Must be the transport cost of getting it from Dandenong to Traralgon.

So much for tourism in regional areas. Glad I don't rely on visitors coming for living.

And all you guys thought Mad Max was just a movie!!!! Michael

I filled up all 4 cars this afternoon $860 empty to full.

As of next week it is all go, so as I said in an earlier thread $1700 per week.

I hope the fuel card are in the mail, as they will save me up to 8 cents per litre based on volume.

Cheers Steve.

Oil is currently trading at US$134.50 bbl; either OPEC pumps more (said they won't) or China stops buying....otherwise we'll continue to see it higher.

While the US dollar continues weakens OPEC will have no incentive to stop the price pushing higher.

I think mainstream Australia will potentially be paying $1.85/2.00 a litre for diesel inside of two to three weeks....

Holiday driving is usually discretionary, so what does that mean for 4WD tourism in Australia. Potentially there wil be a few cheap Jaycos and Landcruisers around if the oil trend doesn't change.

We can argue that the refiners are making too much, but the real culprit is the price of the underlying product. Oil has gone up 35% since the beginning of the year..and I can't see the trend changing, especially with a weaker US dollar and inflation rearing its ugly head....
