Fuel Prices

Bunyip04 · 20-12-2011, 09:44 PM

I think all the ppl that whinge about fuel prices living south
should suck it up, we pay (starting from) 1.49 up to 1.51c a ltr
for regular unleaded up here...
And through the red centre, from 2 bucks + a ltr!!!

Just sayin... Makes me cranky seein it be made such a big deal of on
ACA, and the NT didn't even get a mention!! haha

At the end of the day it's better than walking x amount of k's.

Kryton · 20-12-2011, 09:53 PM

Get over it.
You need it - you pay for it.
No point whinging about something you cant change.

Bunyip04 · 20-12-2011, 09:53 PM

Indeed!!! And much more fun!!!

Hi Bunyip
Picture it 1969
Bridge autos 50 cents a gallon
I know cause I worked there
thats my memory of fuel in the sixties
and the last lot I bought in the seventies
was at the "24hour" Shell
across from the RAAF base/aiport
28 cents a litre 1979
now in Brisbane it hovers around $1.50 a litre
thanks for the memories
John

I just paid $50/litre for Jim Beam...seems to only last the same amount of time as a tank of juice in my car too. Jim Beam = fun...fun = no worries....no worries = don't care about price of fuel. Gotta get to work so I can buy more Jim Beam...it's a vicious cycle really...but it's fun

so true!!

Fuel over the next couple weeks is expected to come down by around 2c p/l. Now I don't know if that is Australia wide or just on the GC, but either way I'm golden.

Geez Louise · 20-12-2011, 10:27 PM

I heard on the radio today in Melbourne, that we should have all filled up today as petrol is set to rise over the Xmas period by 14cents!! How can they justify such a massive jump? Overtime for drivers??

And i've heard it's suppose to be getting cheaper everywhere
else over chrissy (not here), was/am looking forward to some cheaper
BP ultimate, or Vmax in Brissy!!

benoxr · 21-12-2011, 01:49 AM

JB was $42.99 a litre last week, this week, $52.99!!
Petrol,$1.49 - $1.51 in Adelaide at the peak of the cycle. According to fuel anlysts, the cycles are taking longer to turn around where previously it was 7 days.
Though having said that, Monday it was $1.32, Tuesday it was up to $1.49.
Next best day to buy fuel is December 27th where it should be $1.31 again
Wont make it that long before I need to fill up again - might join 74_XB_Ute in a litre of Jim Beam and spend less time using fuel

**DJM83** · 21-12-2011, 07:35 AM

Can't remember the last time I looked at the price when filling up an I only use Ultimate, need it, gotta have it, done.

**Bundy** · 21-12-2011, 07:36 AM

about 15yrs ago diesel in the Navy, excise and tax free 22c a litre

350125GO · 21-12-2011, 08:45 AM

Sucks when you get 10 - 15 US MPG...

MikGan · 21-12-2011, 08:54 AM

But no one winges about the price of something like coke, more per liter than petrol and its just sugar and water! At least with petrol the build a platform in the middle of the ocean and transport it on massive ships... the list goes on!

Iggypoppin' · 21-12-2011, 12:45 PM

I'd say Venezuela has cheap fuel because the country has to share 2 cars on alternate Sundays

Mr Hardware · 21-12-2011, 01:54 PM

if you worry about fuel prices, you've either got the wrong car or you use the wrong fuel

or both

How about printer ink? You get a few mL in a $60 cartridge, and then it dries up before you can use it all anyway :P

Start buying 60 litres of coke a week, bet you'll start whining then

Paxton · 21-12-2011, 05:15 PM

If you can't afford the fuel, you can't afford the car. When my car needs fuel, it gets fuel. There is no point complaining about something you can't change.

the 20 litres of bourbon to thin the coke would make my head very sore

3-1 mix dont mind a strong drink do you.

Franco Cozzo · 21-12-2011, 06:08 PM

Fuel is $1.359/L here at my local petrol station, its great, it stays the same price for weeks on end where it seems all the others go up and down massive amounts depending on the time of the day, if the sun is out, if its a full moon, if the stars aren't aligned, etc.

Diesel is a bit expensive at $1.489/L though, who cares it only costs me $35 a week to do 550km
