Holiday Fuel Prices

[bitingmidge]

What Gives???

I've just filled my car with petrol in Mooloolaba. You'd think that crawling with people, and in full holiday mode on Boxing Day I would have paid through the nose.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Does 82.7c a litre sound fair??

It sounds a lot better than the $1.03 I paid on Thursday in Bunbury WA.

Strange how long the SS tanks stay full when the oil price drops isn't it, considering how fast they need filling when oil increases in price.

Thats because we are subsidising their roads so that they can have cheaper petrol than us. Just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

No joke. :mad:

Of course it's not really Midge's fault that they can't find enough people to live in their state.


Boxing day can of worms.

Actually Ben, I think you'll find that the Qld gov. subsidises the fuel prices. Mind you, all you southerners should be subsidising our roads, given that there's so many of you holidaying/moving up here all the time. Furthermore, neither Midge or anyone else needs to find people wanting to live in our state, it's filling nicely thank you very much with population growing faster in the south east corner faster than anywhere in Australia.

Just stiring the pot a little.


Thought it was a novel twist, your large, empty state, out smaller state with more people.


I do remember reading somewhere that some of our taxes end up helping with your roads. I could be wrong.

The lower fuel prices is just salt in the wound.


I don't loose any sleep over it (either way), it's just handy for the interstate rivalry.

If that's the case, given the state of our roads, you blokes can't be paying much tax!

It's all a matter of where it finishes up, someones pocket certainly not on the roads.
Bit like our fishing licence fees, consolidated revenue (whatever that means).
My own personal gripe is the price of LPG, at the moment about 40c, that is a weekly low and not under the big umbrella of OPEC.

[gatiep]

Will take forever and a day to fill W.A. although if we carry on with low density housing in Perth, we'll soon cover half the state.
Our petrol hasn't been this cheap in months, ULP 91.3 and PULP 96.9 at the cheapest metro sites tomorrow. PULP has been hovering at 1-10 + for ages here. Our gas is around 48c at the cheapest pumps.

[Sturdee]

Don't know about petrol ( I don't sniff the stuff ) but gas was 36.5 yesterday and has been around that for all of last week.

[gatiep]

The secret's out! Sturdy sniffs gas..................like all good jig builders do!

[Sturdee]

Joe, you shouldn't have told everyone, now the price will go up again.


Ps. Erg leuk jongen of ben je an oudje.

[DanP]

Can't remember the last time it was under a dollar. Gas is usually about 45c and petrol normally between $1.05 and $1.10/ltr.

Well I'll be filling up tomorrow as soon as the Tuesday fuel price comes up in an email from 'Fuel watch' at about 3 pm. If it is cheaper on Tuesday then I'll wait. I need about 50 odd liters and with the 4c off vouchers from Dewsons or Action, it does make a difference on when one fills.

[Rowan]

it's filling nicely thank you very much with population growing faster in the south east corner faster than anywhere in Australia.

Is that growing faster or growing older faster??? :eek: :eek:
