It's almost starting to get out of hand. I thought 2.00 litre by Christmas, looks like it could hit 2.00 within in the next few months the way it's going.

Still 61.9 in Slacks Creek this morning. Diesel was 'only' 158.9 too.

Just started a 2 month stint on thursday island... diesolene you little ripper 209.9 (At least the islnad aint real big and the truck is only used to get to and from the boat ramp)
but more importantly unleaded = boat fuel is 199.9

lucky the boat has a four stroke!!!

regarding going to paris instead of the kimberely region?
We are planning on the canning next year, Ive factored fuel at $3 a litre everywhere and $3.50 in hard to get places like Laverton... hopefully it will come in under that. Either way the trip for 5 weeks will still be cheaper than the three and a bit weeks we spent in Hong Kong, Singapore and indo this year visiting friends and family. Your fuel bill may increase by say $1500 now fuel has doubled on a long trip - I would guess you fuel levy + taxes ++++ on a trip to france have gone up at least that per person? Square is square just the OPEC giants are a little fatter?

i was always under the impression that although it impacts on airlines etc, it doesn't as much as it does for the common person, purely because they are a far greater buying force and can lock in better prices.......

i'm not saying it doesn't go up i just dont believe they do it by a per person so to speak

Then I saw the diesel price!!

If I had false teeth I would have lost them!!
$1.72 per litre
Unbelievable[/QUOTE]

Justin,

Looks like the "North Shore" is being ripped off!
Nothing unusual there

8 or 9 years ago, when I was working for Rothmans at Acacia Ridge, I uses to fill up the Jaguar at a small servo near a rail line, just short of Acacia Ridge. The best I paid was 19.9 cents a litre for LPG. Rarely it got above 30 cents.

Times sure have changed.

Diesel is upto about 1.28pounds a litre in the UK a litre at the moment......

works out roughly at say about $2.65 a litre!!!!!!!!
