Fuel Prices.

[Robbo]

Here we go again. On last night's new's was the story of..."Fuel prices will rise because of unrest in the middle east"...The price of fuel could reach $1.60 a litre, the bastard's had us paying that about 18 month's ago. We already have the most expensive fuel in the country, thank's to our state government, now the power's that be want to steal more money from us? Almost every weekend they jack the price up to around $1.48 or so, that's at woolworths servo where I never go. The petrol companies are just criminal's, fuel affect's the price of everything you buy.

Yeah, glad I don't buy much diesel for my farm anymore. It makes food to expensive to produce. Bit of a catch 22 that one hey.

[micks_sandman]

The price of LPG has had a fairly sharp rise too. When i started driving, i remember it 15c/l.....its over 60c/l now. Bought the good lady wife a new Holden Cruze diesel that gets 800kms to a tank...we needed a new car so we went with that. Im kinda lucky with my job being a truck driver where the company pays for fuel and i get to drive the truck home everyday. Also makes owning a V8 easier.....but i feel for families that commute to and from work with two cars.....cant be a cheap exercise nowadays.

Part of being Australian is the ability to bend over and take a good ramming from our Government!!!!!

Only in Australia does petrol cycle up and down WEEKLY by 10c or more per litre.

Only in Australia will you get taxed into oblivion.

Only in Australia is our taxation office a pyramid scheme.

Only in Australia do banks charge high fees and interest rates.

Yep, bend over and cop it sweet.... After all.... This is the lucky country.

Well said Absinth. We are all being well and truly screwed by our elected representatives. Fuel is but one way they do it so well.
