Default Re: The BS of petrol pricing

They've upped the price to make a bit of profit before the carbon tax rolls in. What's the bet the price may slightly drop or stay the same when the carbon tax starts, therefore making the government look good. The same thing happened before the GST came in. About 6 mnths before, the price leapt and never came down again. Remember back then, retailers were told that if they jacked up there prices by more than around 10% when the GST started the government was going to jump on them. That was easy to get around though. They just jacked there prices up before the GST kicked in. Simple.

New taxes always destabilise pricing.
