Thread: Diesel prices!

The GWN news lists the cheapest fuel prices around the states main towns at the end of the news(ex fuelwatch).Kununarra tommorow 199.99cpl Wouldnt want to go to the dearest shop in town @ 199.99 thats $190 to fill an empty D2 SCAREY STUFF
Verve Energy(the WA Power Generators) are burning 3 MILLION litres of diesel a day in leu of the gas thats not available.They are now talking DECEMBER at the earliest till the blown up gas plant is back in action!!!! All refineries in Australia are at peak production to supply WA,one refinery has a breakdown and the POO hits the fan BIGTIME,watch and see!!!!
Nevermind what will happen over here when these re-commissioned old dinosaur powerstations spit the dummy because they arent up to it.They are even pumping BIOMASS into a couple of the old retired Muja powerstations just to keep them almost a little bit green.
OVER $2 a litre for diesel by the end of the month all over aussie!!!!
I find it hard to believe that any State can put most of their eggs in one basket after Victorias Longford gas debacle.

At this price it is still cheap. Read The Oil Drum: Australia/New Zealand | Australia's Oil-Based Energy Security on ideas to make Australia oil import free in 5 years.

$1.83.9 here in Colac but waiting for another jump . The 4 cent dock is worth it now when putting $150 in the tank and it's still not full .

still $1.789 in emerald, central qld

doubt its for long though

thought i'd re-hash this topic. now that i've noticed petrol come down(and admittedly, here, diesel has dropped a couple of cents) i still find it unacceptable that diesel is, overall, nearly 40cpl more than petrol this morning. 1.859 avg vs 1.469.

44cpl over the unleaded price of $1.44 yesterday at the BP in Subiaco WA. The reason apparently is that demand for diesel is still very strong but has dropped of a bit for petrol.
Of course it wouldn't be anything to do with the fact that Australia runs on diesel and they can charge what they like for it, would it?
Happy LRing even if it's not cheap.

Did the slow down of this thread reflect the changing prices of diesel.

After a peak here of what I think was 198.9, Orange has now been selling for the last few days at 177.9.

You beauty I was thinking until I drove about down the road last weekend for a bit of a play around Lithgow, and filled up for 168.9 at Yetholme on the way home.

30c/litre difference from peak until now! With a 150 litre fuel tank, thats good value with about $40 savings per fill (130 litres) difference per tank.

Still flowing through the bowser at 210.0 cents per litre here. That's been the maximum and it hasn't come down in over 3 weeks.
