Fuel prices

I agree-whats the point in complaining about the most expensive fuel supplier? Let your wallet do the talking and support an independant supplier instead.

Gull in Geraldton 151.5?

Temora the other day when I went through was $1.57. West Wyalong 60km up the road was the same price. Exactly half way between the two is Bardmedman, who is $1.88. 30cents more for 30km.

No competition around the Wagga Wagga area, and none of this up and down prices the cities seem to get. (something about weekly cycle of oil prices.)

yep BP is the most expensive by 5 -10cpl

Shell on Hancock Road at Surrey Downs had it for $1.43 last night. Most of the ones near us (Paradise) are at $1.55.

Last night, most servos put their ULP prices up to within a cent or two of diesel prices.

Why is it so expensive compared to the US? One word...taxes.

Fab (I feel your pain).

Over here in Sunny Scotland,

Diesel is £1.42.
ULP is £1.36, and
LPG is .77p a litre.

Well, got the expected response. Lot of assumptions go on here. I merely asked the question - I did not buy the fuel but merely drove past and asked the question here. Saw it much cheaper today and still I have not bought it.

as you said "why are we paying" I assumed you were paying and hence buying it....

Port Lincoln Caltex has Diesel for $1.55 and the BP has $1.59. The servos from here to the WA border range from the above through to $2.00 to $2.04 at the border. Nundroo is the cheapest on the way at around $1.57 (when I came through).
If we are going to have unrest in rhe Middle East and a strong dollar, what can anyone do?
Add to that the fact that servos who have no competition can do what they like. I suspect that there is collusion in the bigger towns/cities between the servos anyway.

"Our VW needs at least 51 Cetane, and BP is the only one have 51 cetane"

what a PIA? Did you know that when you bought it?

51 Cetane - Yeah, didn't bother me - BP guarantees the quality of their fuels. Heaps of BP stations around Adelaide - they seem to be supported by the growing numbers who don't like woolworths/coles. We refuse to use the discount fuel dockets.

But we only do 10,000k per year in the VW which is only 10 tankfuls!!!

Good on you for boycotting Coles & Woolworths fuel outlets.
Anyone that uses fuel discount vouchers is delusional & playing straight in to the supermarket trap!
If everybody has the intelligence to avoid these outlets the price of fuel would drop overnight.

I am getting too old for this jargon

my wife and i googled PIA we give up

whats it mean? fisho64

Even wiki had a dozen meanings and not one corresponded to fisho64, R U making this up?

interesting to hear all the prices out there, we sell ULP (Opal) at $1-81 .... we have to store 140,000L of the "stuff" to survive the wet, you can work that out... it costs us a fortune just to keep the stuff...
We also HAVE to buy it from Adilaide as that is the only place that sells Opal and we have to freight it all the way up here, we are 500klms from Mt Isa and it has to go there first, to Cloncurry and up to us ......
Yet we get people complaining that our fuel is to expensive, we paid more for our fuel last week than we retailed it for 2 years ago.....

All i can add to it is please support the remote guys even if it is more as they are not exactly making a "killing" as some would assume, if you dont then they will simply close up and the next raft of complaints will be that you cant buy fuel out bush like you used to, ok it may cost $400 to 500 more for the trip, think how much it will cost if you have to set up your cars to do 2000klms for each fuel fill and the fuel it uses just to lug it around and when it cracks and you lose it, well down the drain goes all your savings and that by the way is quite common......
Cheers guys...
