Petrol prices

Danni · May 6, 2003

Have I missed some big thing in the news about petrol prices?

A couple of weeks ago I was paying 85+ cents per litre.

Today it was 69.7 cents per litre.

Temporary abheration or has something happened to bring the prices down?

Apparently its nothing to do with the war.

I think you will find that it has everything to do with the war 'ending'

Saw it for 69.9 yesterday, brilliant, hopefully they can stay this way.

64.8c this morning!!! Ya shoulda seen me trying to squeeze every last drop into the tank that I could!!

Something's not right...

Here in Griffith, I've noticed a verrrrry slow slide down in price...It's only by half a cent per day...Today's price...96.5c per litre...

The people above are all from QLD mate, much much cheaper up there.

Its still around 96.9 here in Bathurst too ...

NSW will never get as cheap fuel as QLD.

Few reasons, 1st is the taxes are lower up there .... 2nd is I am sure that QLD get their fuel from a different place to the rest of Australia ...

Something like that ...

still high 80's to high 90's in Perth i believe, not that i have a car but its what ive seen.

knuckles · May 6, 2003

Oversupply. Mrs Knuckles is the expert on this.

Australia has the 3rd cheapest at-the-pump fuel in the world. Not counting Iraq, Saudi etc

sabre_ac · May 6, 2003

69.7 in QLD?
WTF!
How is it consistently around the 90 cent mark in WA.
When we produce the stuff, WHAT IS GOING ON

happy_in_hell · May 6, 2003

Correct me if I'm wrong (which on this board is inevitable) but Aus does not get its fuel from Iraq.
France does (explains their anti-war stance) and America (I think) Well they do now.

As for fuel mid 80's to 90's in Melb.

Hovering around 80-83 cents/litre here in Ballarat at the moment. In fact, we were able to fill the car at the weekend on just $30, and that was with the car only on 1/4 of a tank going in.

Hopefully, it'll be around 77-79 cents/litre this coming weekend.

Danni · May 6, 2003

Has nothing to do with lower taxes up here - has to do with a State gov't 'fuel rebate' which is somewhere between 4 and 7 cents per litre I think.

Even take that off your other prices tho and our prices still seem to be lower.

Very strange.

Danni · May 6, 2003

Get rid of our rebate/subsidy - and we are near on 20cents cheaper per litre than Griffith, gotta be something severely wrong there.

eagleskickass · May 6, 2003

Anything above 90 in Perth atm is a rip off.

Yet to see anyone bust the magical 80.0 though...I'll expect a large queue to form when someone does

GoEagles · May 6, 2003

The cheapest petrol I've got over the last few months was 82c last week. Tomorrow is 80.9c at my closest petrol station.

PrideofSA · May 7, 2003

Just read the first few posts and though.....wow 64, wtf. I thought that 82 down here was awesome compared to what it was.

Bit like when a can of coke first went up from $1.00 to $1.10 there was outrage

Saw that this morning. Bodes pretty well for putting more petrol in the car for the weekend footy and Mother's Day trips.

Scarlett Pimp · May 8, 2003

Really, what's the big deal? My tank holds 60 litres, so a 3c drop means stuff all. Wow, I'll save a whole $1.80. That's almost 90c a week! Now I'll be able to afford to get Geelong out of debt by myself.
