Diesel Rip-Off Continues

Deserter,

LOL when the demand for diesel comes close to the demand for petrol MAYBE there won't be such a difference in price.

All of China's new electricity power generators are all diesel powered and as with most things to do with China they outstrip supplies.

This is only going to get worse in the near future a China increases there need for electricity.

In Europe in the early 1990's 2 in 10 cars were diesel now it is 7 cars in 10.

If you had 1000 widgets for sale and the going price for each widget was $10.00 and I needed 1500 widgets for my thingamajig so I could make money and I offered you $15.00 for each of your widgets so I could secure stock.....who would you sell your widgets to and what is the going price for people who only want 10 of your widgets.

So who are these "Bloody stinking rotten thieving mongrel bastards" your talking about ?

If we all started eating oranges I'm sure the price of oranges would skyrocket to.

Where do you live I'm moving there.
Every one around my way was still selling unleaded between 1.58 and 1.68 and diesel was still 1.82 to 1.89 but i'm sure one of the die hards can give a reasonable explanation for this blatant rip off.

Just thought I,d let you guys know we went through Nannutarra Roadhouse a week and a bit ago and the price for Diesel was $2.34.9 a litre after gettting up off the ground i put 20 Litres in and bought a paper which cost $50.38 I,m still pi---d off about it

Dont know what you are whinging about put 44l diesel in work truck and it came to $82.00. Petrol is still $1.66 l in Bathurst.
Cheers pete

Wow, $1.45 you say.

I've just arrived home and its still selling for $1.69 here in Melbourne.

I still can't see it going below $1.50.

Its all about conditioning......:-))

Deserter,
Get used to it mate. Huge global demand for diesel and other mid distallates like kerosene for AVTUR, coupled with reduction in refineing capacity for these fuels is going to see prices stay high relative to petrol.

Nickers in our House.

Sorry to play top this but the local servo in Lugarno (Sydney) had petrol on Tuesday at $1.52/l and Diesel at $1.97/l

For those struggling with the maths that's a 45c/l difference. Now that is a rip off. I remember when diesel was 15c/l cheaper than petrol.

Well it still hasn't had any impact around my area the el cheapo
91 ron unleaded is still 1.60 to 1.64 a litre at all of them on the way home tonight.

Spotted this afternoon (Saturday, 26 July) in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, unleaded at 149.9 out of the pump.

Diesel was still 183.9.

There must be some REALLY annoyed 4wd'ers, transport drivers, and European diesel car drivers out there. I think it's damn disgusting that diesel hadn't come down in price at the same time as petrol.
