Price of petrol in QLD

[flappist]

Has anyone else up here is the centre of the known universe (QLD) noticed petrol has gone beserk.
I filled the scooter on Saturday, $1.33.x per litre for 98ron.
I filled the F6 yesterday, $1.44.x per litre.

Is it just the locals doing the usual "holiday scam" or is it more widespread?

[lukey]

I saw $1.31 last night here in Vic.

[SammyDen]

mid 140's in some places in SE Melb.

[knighto42]

We've had $1.40's off and on down here (Sydney) for the last couple of weeks. Same as you - $1.29 one day, then up to $1.45-ish the next.

It's a worry when you see $1.29.9 and think "Geez that's cheap I'd better fill up"

[kyro_02]

i loved seeing $1 a litre in queensland, think it was earlier this year

victoria sucks on petrol

not unusual to see high $1.30 or $1.40 here : : :

Mate, in Sydney it just went up to $150.9 for 91RON or regular unleaded.
Now, it's also going to go up an extra 9 cents per litre thanks to some twit called Verity Firth in the NSW government who wants to recover the fuel vapour. You guys should look out for the same mindless idea, as the global warming crowd have now come into power.

By the way, Verity Firth wants to ban all 4 stroke lawn mowers for the pollution they put out which over an hour is roughly the same as 6 toyota corolla's. (Her words, not mine). People, these are your representatives in Government.

i want whatever she's smoking, only with a different side effect :P

[sgt_doofey]

I went overseas for 5 weeks only to come back and see that LPG had jumped from ~52.9 c/L up to 67.9c/L! Not bad, a 28.35% increase in the price!

[Sam_Boss260]

It is crazy.... They reckon by next week it will be $1.50..... Well there goes my dream of buying a second hand GT at the end of next year....

[Dazza XLT]

137.9 CPL For Unleaded
141.9 CPL For Diesel
71.9 for Gas
Shell Servo 5klm north of Bowen

I'm going for a run up to the NT in December, that'll be interesting!
Should be able to avoid most expensive places, load a few Jerry Cans in the tray.

Cheers

How does the scooter go on the good stuff?

[Fantome]

Paid $1.53.9 yesterday for 98 octane. Sure to go up 8-10cents when the school holidays start.

[GS608]

on the Gold coast a few days ago it was up around $1.36 and that was expensive, usually its between $1.10 and $1.30 for regular unleaded

i miss the days of 97c/L

Quite well, 0-400 in about 11 sec and tops out around 200km/h although I have not been much over 150km/h on dirt.

Like its been stable at all in recent years. You just know theyre going to pull the subsidy with all this. They wanted to swap it for an $80 rego discount, which 3 regos from now would be gone anyway. A recent inquiry has revealed there has been widespread abuse of the 10c/litre subsidy, so the removal will be back on the cards.

Great news if you drive less than 5,000 km a year, not so good for 4x4 or V8.

I filled up for $1.20.? on Sunday for 91 RON, havent had to fill it again yet. Although I spent $5 in the Mobil, so add the 3 or 4c or whatever it is.

No corollas are 4 stroke. This is a common misconception attributed to the large trails of smoke often seen coming from the rear of corollas

Hehehehehe..... so true.


In WA, 98Ron floats between 132.9 and 140.9 in any given week.
Only Peak, BP and Caltex have 98 in WA, and not at every station.
Makes it hard, as I have only one BP within 15kms of my place.

[HOON69]

1.22 a litre here today and yesterday thats with a 4 cent discount though :P

and to think were meant to have a 8 cent levy
yeah BS we do :(

[knighto42]

Just drove past the local servo - up to 149.9 for regular unleaded today. Knew I should have filled up this morning...

[T3ts50]

Good news is oil has dropped down to US$94 a barrell. Bad news Aussie dollar lower at 0.87c.

Yep, I'm seeing a 15 to 20 cent rise in the cost per litre....bloody rediculous. Where I could afford to put BP Ultimate in up until recently, I am now paying the same, or more, for the standard unleaded 91 octane stuff.

Up until the end of September I was staying in the southern suburbs and paying as little as $1.06 for standard unleaded and $1.14 for Vortex.

[SNB05T]

has anyone else noticed the increase in the price difference between 98 and 91?
it used to 8- 10c more for ultimate than 91 crappy fuel, when i filled up yesterday in sans souci (sydney) 91 was 1.29 and ultimate was 1.42.

at this price i try not to run the tank down to empty.

C'MON PRIME MINISTER RUDD, YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE OIL COMPANY RORTING US!!!!!!!!!!

[DJM83]

I paid 131 cpl for BP ultimate today at Northlakes. I always get fuel on the way to work as by the time i head home the price has jumped happens every Wednesday. I feel sorry for you guys down south paying that much. When i first moved to QLD 114cpl for 98, what a joke

That's what logic would suggest, but then again her official press release was banging on about 4 stoke mowers, and she went on to say that "4 cylinder mowers are the worst polluters in the suburbs".
The fact that this moron cannot ditinguish between 2 stroke, 4 stroke and then 4 cylinder suggests that again, someone has been promoted to ministerial level prematurely. What a stupid .
The worst part is that she is now enforcing on NSW motorists a 9 cents per litre tax on top of the exhorbitant fuel prices under the guise of climate change.

As for those of you wondering the price over christmas it won't matter, as there is to be a fuel strike.

145 today in Chadstone VIC (Wednesday night) what a rip off

[XRNIL8]

The subsidy is being rorted in Qld, there is no getting away from it .....

Here in Central Vic .... yesterday regualr was $125.9 .... today ... $146.9


might have to dust off the old bike ;)

[Chamelion]

Today it was 122.9 for 91ron at Caltex. No doubt that Shell are already at 135cpl with the rest to follow within the next couple of hours.

I just fill up on Wesnesdays now, the cheapest day of the week and incidentally when I've used 1/2 - 3/4 of my tank.

[Deadman]

$1.38 for 91 RON (just spotted it on the way back from picking up pizza for dinner)

This is a joke. If it's up over $1.40 consistently next year, there goes my plans for a Territory in July, and hello Diesel Mondeo... :(
