Last week our local was 1.79 now its up over 2.00 but still on the same fuel as the tanker hasnt come yet. I have a bulk tank and a 200 drum both half full so hoping that will do. I dont go out much any more.

But,but,Charming Jim said the ACCC were going to sort this out.

More BS and lies,have the ACCC ever sorted anything to do with fuel prices out?

The Servos just do what the want.

Qld has always traditionally had higher prices than most other States,and Territorries as well.

Prolly a good time to have both cars in bits.

Not when I lived there. Qld didn't charge the same excise as the Southern States. Which was OK for those who lived around Tweed and Chinderah. Pop over for a few cents off. Just don't do it on the weekend. I never got used to that, only certain places open, and odds and evens. People say Qld is weird. It was weirder back then.

Most of Queenslands' crude production is used to make diesel at the Ampol refinery in Brisbane and the small one at Eromanga, so we should be ok
96% of Australias' crude is exported to Asian countries where they make petrol like we used to and export it back to us, so why all the crap about the Gulf.

[JDNSW]

Because that 96% is nowhere near enough for Australia's fuel usage!

I'm not saying we the fuel we get is refined from Middle East Crude, but the problem is, that with restrictions on supply from there, the world crude arked will be short on supply - and prices will rise, possibly quite substantially. Since most of Australia's fuel supply come from crude traded on the world market .....

Every time I’ve been up there fuels been cheaper than below the border.

Perhaps it would benefit us if you visited more, Tombie?
