Damn fuel prices

I don't understand how they're all allowed to charge more, just because it is the Easter period.

Isn't this collusion?

 

get over it or buy a bicycle, fuel is the least of your worries

I look at it this way .... there are no luggage racks on a hearse

 

I guess you dont know about the typical cycle. Wed/Thur is always the most expensive part of the week when buying petrol, watch tomorrow it will be back down a cool 15c. Why... Pay day is on wed/thursday for most ppl It really hasnt got much to do with Easter.

We in Oz have it fairly cheap compared to Europe which is over $2/l!!! the USA/Canada ofcourse have it cheaper then us.

Also Venezula will be selling their oil at $50 a barrel which is much cheaper then the arab countries. Soo we could see under the $1 mark in the not to distant future.

 

huh when's easter?

 

next week

 

The sooner fuel gets to $10 a litre the better, keep all the shiit heaps off the road, even mine!

Carl.

 

yeah...i was pretty pissed off at having to pay $14 to fill up my tank today!

 

Optimax was $1.43 a litre today! I think I'll start using the Vito again.

 

I went to the Shell servo today to fill up my fairlane. $1.26 unleaded,$1.31 premium unleaded. The fairlane has around an 85 Litre tank,cost me $94 today for around 75 Litres. Im with moretti,who cares about fuel prices man?? I reckon it only affects the family type in the big cities that have to work around a budget. I have a mate here who just bought a XC Ford coupe/showcar with a 429 big block. He chews around $40 of fuel in an hour on a fun night

 

yeah i was saying that on here somewhere too once, then realized i'm poor

 

I use 30,000 litres a year,I hope a loaf of bread goes up x10 also!

By the way Carl, have you been in hibernation......or just keeping out of the way until all that new father soppy stuff has worn off at work?

 

Like i always say, if you love the car then the price of fuel dosnt matter
That said, my dad always complains about me going cruising with my friends because apparently we use too much fuel..

 

I paid $1.46 yesterday. Just as well the CSL does circa 25mpg in the old money.

The F50 would cost over $100 to fill up now, suppose I shouldn't drive it

 

Stop talking crazy scott

 

Filled up in Sydney for 1.63 per litre for Optimax...

When is it going to end?

 

The analogy is - if you can afford to own a F-Car then you can afford to buy the petrol that goes in the tank. I'ts a bit like the servicing issue - if you can't afford to maintain an F-Car, then don't buy one. DUH. Petrol is still expensive though, IMHO.

 

Noticed on my drive from Sydney to Melbourne last F1 GP weekend that petrol prices in Melbourne were 10+ cents higher than Sydney prices, on average.

 

I can afford it, and really, im more concerned about the quality of the fuel than the price, but im wondering when this BS is gonna end!

 

$1.39c is my record for Optimax. U buying in Valcause? I know they usually 10c more then the rest of the state

 

whinging about it solves nothing, accept it, as a wise man once said to me:
"we didnt get into this hobby to save money"

 

Na got it at South Hurstville.

It seems to differentiate throughout the day. I must of hit it at the wrong time or something.

Im not complaining about the price, but about the business ethics that these petrol stations seem to run under. With things like Collusion and different prices by the hour. Also, petrol stations on the city bound side of the road will be around 5c dearer, while in the arvo, it’s the opposite. Business ethics like this piss me off, hence the complaining.

 

You talking about the one of KG's road? yeah they usually more expensive I have noticed, but wow $1.63 seems way exessive to the rest of the area, the shell on Princes @ carlton is usually cheaper and if u in the area the one near BLS is usually cheapest(for shell). I saw Mobile react last week 1st with a 15c jump a whole day earlier then the rest but they also reacted the 1st to lower the pricing all confusing really.
