Subscriberfor what it does, fuel is very cheap.

SupporterI dont even both looking at the price...
Only three servos in town all within a cent of each other, one likes to serve water with the diesel, so I go to the other ones...
But price is about 180c/L give or take and doesnt really change much month to month.
hurts when you wanna fill the boat with 240L but I guess the benefits outweigh the cost!!

SubscriberYes you really feel that 1.6 cents a litre of excise, NOT!
As I said here or another thread, it's the oil companies who are playing us for mugs.

BTW the WA government has a great web site with daily fuel prices throughout WA( except for the GRR) with the price and location. Eg when I was in Kununurra it alerted me to the coop which was 10-15 cents cheaper than the town stations.

True, considering a 600ml bottle of H2O can cost $3 from the Deli... Fuel is cheap, but not drinkable

Well there you go, you've edumacated me on that, I thought it was more
I'd be happy to pay the gubberment a bit more, rather than big oil, but they need some profits to keep finding more, otherwise it'll go up quicker.
So oh wise onewhere are we in regard to peak oil? And how long til H2 gains a common foothold, websitelink where you gain your knowledge

SubscriberPeak Oil? peak Oil?where are we in regard to peak oil? And how long til H2 gains a common foothold, websitelink where you gain your knowledge
Where have I heard that before?
Oh about 5 years ago before they started horizontal drilling in the States and technology found heaps more.
I was going to start a thread so you saved me doing it. But I wouldn't count on the price being cheap for more than a few years and OPEC is doing a BHP and flooding the market to knock out competitors.
However I was interested to read today a report by analysts that Woodside's break even is USD22 per barrel.
I still think Hydrogen is "about 20 years away" as it was 20 years ago.
My understanding 20 years ago was that purity is a big problem as BOC found with Perth bus fleet. Probably still is but nobody has got as far as a widespread distribution system. With oil as cheap and plentiful as it is now, you would have to be a bit of a masochist to spend much on Hydrogen research. Of course the byproduct is water , and no co2 so maybe the Europeans will spend money on it.
Hang on they haven't got any money because they have spent it all on wind farms and solar panels, and then like Germany building 5 coal fired power station to cover when the sun don't shine and the wind don't blow.
