I wish our fuel was that cheap.
Glad you got it off your chest anyway.

I think you showed a lot of restraint with your comments. While you are in the mood you may wish to send some correspondence to this email:

What is the most trouble we could get into for say 20 4wd's running out of diesel on the only road in and out of the Shell terminal in Rose hill? I'm starting to think i would get some satisfation out of that. Just an idea, maybe a post on all 4x4 forums ?

Just drove past a station down here and its $1.47.9 at the moment.

Still too bloody dear !

I don't care what anyone else says, someone is making a zhit load from us poor suckers at the moment.

Hopefully it will continue to come down over the next week but I doubt it.

Daza.
Same story in Tweed Heads.Totally agree with your comments regarding the petrol commissioner.
Cheers.

best i've seen in adelaide is Caltex at Campbelltown at 1.78 (1.779)

most others are round 1.84

5.45 am this morning Yamanto near Ipswich QLD diesel 169.9.
And yeah were being ripped till our eyes bleed, so whats changed?

Hi everyone, just thought you might like to know that diesel is about 1.10 a litre and unleaded is about 0.98 a litre here in China.

Mind you the oil companies and chinese government have a handshake deal whereby the oil company complains that they are forced to sell it at less than cost, and then the govt gives them a subsidy once a year to make up for it. Welcome to communist regime struggling to meet capitalist needs. Sinopec and PetroChina both post a net loss on sales until the govt gives them their subsidy. They got about 9 or 10 Billion dollars as once off subsidy just a few months ago if im right. Then again, I am often wrong.

Im definitely right about the costs I listed in my first paragraph though. I drive past the gas station each day on way to work so its easy to see.

read on another forum that unleaded was $1.29 / ltr at the independant servo at acacia ridge in brisbane yesterday. back up to $1.40 today though.

DAZA, I guess Kev will say he has done it for the petrol fellas and the diesel users can go jump

Don't get yourselves too worked up boys. Remember in QLD although the petrol/fuel prices are slightly cheaper, other associated costs (motoring) are higher than some (most) other States. But why continue to worry and sweat about the costs. The price of oil is currently in decline and lower pump prices are starting to appear. Gee when some people spend $3,000+ for fuel alone on a single trip I really don't believe that recent higher prices have had any affect on changing motoring/travelling habits.
