It's going to be just so wonderful, eh.:cool:

[T.D.5]

Brivagas

Unlead 91 = 128.9c/l
Diesel = 137.9c/l

What is the state 8c subsidy buying.
USD - AUD is at record levels & we're paying huge $$s for the first product off the refining process. If the dollar wasn't up we'd be looking at $1.75 according to one radio commentator. Its a rort

[defenderkev]

Melbourne South East

1.47 in bowral nsw for diesel local opperater says prices are expensive here because the trucks have to divert off the freeway between sydney and canberra total of thirty five kms extra but thats a good reason to screw people:mad:

[cucinadio]

Hay Guys,

the fuel rort is only happening because we are accepting it, the other month when they did an investigation on the prices
the prices went down and the min it finished it went up!
funny that !!!
if we all were to make it happen thay would come down , but as we just keep accepting them thay dont go figure

cheers

[George130]

Diesel $1.489
:mad::mad::mad:

[jik22]

Most of the local Caltex's near me are UL91 @ 125-126 and diesel between 137-144!

For a few weeks it seemed to be 116 Mon-Wed, then going up to 130ish in some cases later in the week and weekend...but that seems to have stopped now. Don't even begin to understand the variation.

[dmdigital]

I've still got the highest price :(

[LandyAndy]

Diesel 143.something today in town.Dont normally stress about it too much,it along time between drinks with a TD5 Disco:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[awabbit6]

Diesel $1.716

Does this mean I win the raffle :confused:


I wouldn't call it a win :no2:

Diesel is $1.29 - $1.32 here.

[Captain_Rightfoot]

I can't see that it's ever going to come down much... only increase from here.

[Xavie]

Blue mountains (middle-upper)

Diesel: 141.9- 144.9

Petrol: 128.9- 130.9

I don't understand why one fuel station was 7 cents cheaper then all the others :(. I did not add it in this because it is always slightly cheaper but last time I filled up at a cheap place I ended up with some water and I was not the only one.

[LandyBen]

I find some Tuesdays in the mountains are cheap, but then that all goes out the window when the price stays the same, mongrels. I would love a diesel, but the price scares me, I realise this can be offset with the awesome economy returned by some Tdi's. Six of one half a dozen of the other, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah...:):):)

[2 rocks]

19/11
Perth - North of River
Diesel: 137.9 - 142.9

Lucky you. I put in around 130 liters at a time and it lasts 9 to 10 days.

[CraigE]

Esperance ULP $1-38 - $142, Diesel $1-42 - $1-46

[BigJon]

Premium unleaded at Kulgera and Marla was $1.68 per liter on my way down to Adelaide. Best economy was about 16-7 litres per hundred, worst was about 21 litres per hundred. Towing a tandem axle trailer at 120 kph, A/C on into a headwind.

[Outback 1]

around $1.36 for diesel in toowoomba

[Xavie]

Have people noticed the chrissy fuel rise coming? I might be imagining things but seeing petrol as 1 cent dearer then diesel was a bit of a surprise which I have not seen in a while. Diesel in the mountains now has seemed a steady $1.50 p/l for a week now so I really wish I had filled up the jerry's at $1.40.

[ellard]

[T.D.5]

Brisbane today

ULP 1.30
Diesel 1.40-1.45

I heard a report last week that fuel prices were kept low during the election campaign in order to keep them from becoming a political target during the hustings trek. Low my foot. Check last weeks post too.

[Utemad]

Brisbane today

ULP 1.30
Diesel 1.40-1.45



As above but 54.9 for LPG :)

At these prices the LPG conversion will pay itself off in approx 12000kms total :cool:

[disco gazza]

I seen lpg at 71.9c at a servo in the campbelltown area yesterday.
Filled up with diesel at Penrith last monday-1.41....by wed morn it was 147.9/ltr.
Cheers
Gazza

[Utemad]

I seen lpg at 71.9c at a servo in the campbelltown area yesterday.

It was 69.9 at the entrance to Stanthorpe (Shell/Maccas)a couple of weeks ago.

Even around here you can see it for 65.x. I find if the LPG is branded Unigas (regardless of the servo brand) then it will be 60.0+. Even if the Shell/BP/Caltex etc in the same street are 54.9.

[Quiggers]

138 cpl around here for unlead, geez that sucks...
148 for diesel, hmmmm.....

must have a word with ruddy and get another 'inquiry' going....

should be about 25c a litre less than what it is

GQ

[rick130]

diesel $1:55 here in the Upper Hunter and rising....

[Fusion]

Colac Vic unleaded is $1.45.9 and diesel is $1.49.9:( . got ethinol fuel for $1.35.5 at united in geelong on saturday

[Cap]

I just saw a pupm here in Hobart where diesel is at 155.9!!!!!! WTF is going on????

LPG is also 75.9 as well :mad:

[djam1]

Karratha
Diesel $1.649
ULP $1.599
LPG $.96.5

LPG is discusting its .50 to .60 in Perth transport costs my %%%% more like scumbags profiteering

[5teve]

northern suburbs perth

Diesel has topped $1.50 and petrol keeps on falling... how can that be?

a 50% rise in 1 year seems a bit rich... (thats pretty much how much its gone up since we have been in oz) do you think they are trying to cream a profit until they get done for fixing and have to sell it at a real price.. ?

Thanks

Steve

[CraigE]

Diesel $1.53.9 in Esperance.:(

[Jeff]

I drove into a servo in Brookvale yesterday and it was $1.49, I drove out to the other discount servos and they were $1.56 and $1.53, so I went back to the first one. It's a new one and even the pumps are clean, I hate leaving a servo with diesel smelling hands.

millmerran
diesel $1.41
petrol $1.35:mad:

[cartm58]

fuelled the company car at caltex Mandurah price for ULP was 1.30 price for diesel was 1.51

quick mental calculation shows company pricing is taking into account the difference in fuel efficiency of diesel and charging extra for it.

how they can justify differential pricing for diesel is beyond me given cheaper produciton costs and comparable distribution costs.

and what has changed in world to justify price hike

iraq still at war
china still booming
india still booming
iran still playing politics of nuclear technology wiht USA
turkey and kurds still hate one another

pricing hikes are purely speculative profit by short term futures brokers pushing spot price of oil higher

beginning of year all the above risks were used to justify price hike to 40 a barrel same risks now justify 100 a barrel

[leeds]

Filled up the other day at 2.64$.

There again that was in rip off UK. Diesel is more expensive then petrol and simple reason is extra taxation. About 70% of price we pay is tax. In UK we actually pay tax on tax. We are charged 17.5% VAT on the fuel tax.

Currently paying 59p fuel tax PLUS 17.5% VAT on the full price of the fuel which is about 16.5p/litre. We pay 75.5 p (1.81$) tax on diesel at £1.10/litre

Put another way we pay more in tax for fuel then Australia pays for its fuel!

Fuel tax went up in October 07 at 2p/litre and it is already planned to go up in April 08 and April 09. There again I am betting they will sneak another one in October 08 as well.

Leeds all thats fine but my nearest city is 1600 km away

But now we have Nicaragua threatening to turn off the supply to USA, so US is in a panic and buying like crazy to build reserves. Nicaragua is the US's 4th largest source, so it will put a dent in their supply, plus with panic-driven demand, the price goes crazy.

But I think the fuel prices are surprizingly cheap considering that in 2003 oil was US$30 a barrel, and today it's hovering around US$100. In 4 years oil has gone up 333% but fuel at the bowser has only gone up by 100%. The oil companies must be "Hurting" badly as their margins erode!:cool:

[BigTim]

What can I say - time to check out the alternatives. These folks seem to have the right idea....

Tesla Motors (http://www.teslamotors.com/)

and just so you don't think its just the Yanks working on this kind of thing

Zero Emission Vehicles Australia (http://www.zeva.com.au/registry.php)

of course we'd need to consider proper IP68 sealing on all the electrics - better not let Lucas at it:wasntme:

Naturally it's not the silver bullet solution yet due to Australia's need for long range travel but it's getting there.....

Hmm, chasing up some research but you could do a basic DC conversion using a second hand motor, curtis controller and lead acid batteries for between $7k and $10k - of course if you wanted to go the whole hog on Li-Ion etc the price does tend to go up :o

It's the same here with the tax on the tax thing. There is an excise on the fuel on top of which we pay GST ("luckily" at only 10%)

[LandyAndy]

Had 10000lts diesel dropped off at work on friday,1.41 delivered.
The shire works on a tender system,we need fuel,the email goes out to a list of suppliers,who wants it gets it on the lowest CPL delivered price.
