    showing diesel at $1.989 but the Coles Express/Shell is $2.517 which
    crazy, those servos are only a few hundred meters apart.

    No you didn't you bullshit artist lol. In some remote regions they are charging $4/L but *not* in Sydney or any other metro area.

    I am surprised that LPG is pretty much the same, though on Fuelwatch one
    servo is raising price by 10 cents tomorrow. I guess most are sitting on
    fuel they bought weeks ago.

    Nobody "heard on the radio the other day that some servos in Sydney were charging 4 bucks a litre for petrol.", that is for sure.

    So was that a blatant lie on your part not to be outdone in your
    imaginary pissing contest as is so often the case with you or did you
    just fuck up fraudster?

    One servo near me was at $2.88.9 around 7.00am this morn, but now at
    $2.79.9 (diesel). $220 to fill a tank. Lucky the ranga is relatively economical.. still, $170 to do a round trip to the block isnt great.

    I buy my fuel from the Foodtown servo in Main street, who remains

    was $2.05 for 91. Around the corner at the Apco it was almost $2.50
    and people were queuing up.


    LOL˙ Theres an APCO in bairnsdale, and people were queued up out onto
    the highway. I drove past and went into the BP 200m up the road, and
    filled up the ranga at 3 cpl more than apco, and didnt have to wait
    for a pump. Some people have anal ingrained. :-)>

    some ppl just don't bother to think

    Or look. The Apco is easily the largest and busiest servo in town, and
    their prices are usually okay, but they're no cheaper than where I
    usually buy. However at the moment they're stupid expensive whereas the
    servo I buy from is only slightly so.

    No you didn't you bullshit artist lol. In some remote regions they

    FWIW I paid $2.02 this morning and I'm regional WA.




    filled up this week at $2.21

    Its all over the place, according to petrol spy just now Apco is $2.199,
    the "foodworks" Caltex is $226.9, a couple of the other local servos are
    more expensive and another in the middle.
    The funny thing is the E85 for the race car (we are going to Winton
    tomorrow) is the same price as its been for a couple of years and is now
    one of the cheapest fuels at $2.199.
    I was talking to a truckie this morning and I said that the price of
    diesel must be killing him, he said no because the customer pays a fuel
    levy which goes up or down according to how much he pays.

    I heard that some local servos have now banned filling containers, the
    fuel panic buying is like panic buying toilet paper during Covid.

    One servo near me was at $2.88.9 around 7.00am this morn, but now at
    $2.79.9 (diesel). $220 to fill a tank. Lucky the ranga is relatively economical.. still, $170 to do a round trip to the block isnt great.

    Wonder how high it'll go. At least Morrison cut the tax temporarily
    during covid. Airbus Albo is rubbing his hands with glee. Cunt.>


    The increase in GST and excise revenue must be huge, wouldn't hurt to
    drop it for a couple of months.

    Yeah, I was in town in the Effie this morning and I topped up while I
    was there. The Apco was $2.19 while the Foodtown was $2.26 as you say. I
    was talking to the guy who runs the Foodtown servo as he likes a natter,
    and he said lucky I filled up today as he's been advised that it's going
    up tomorrow. I asked him if he knew how much, and he said $2.60 for
    unleaded, and close to 3 bucks for diesel.

    The funny thing is the E85 for the race car (we are going to Winton tomorrow) is the same price as its been for a couple of years and is now
    one of the cheapest fuels at $2.199.

    Bizarre :)

    Nice work if you can get it.

    Not at all. E85 is *85% ethanol*. Guess what, the ethanol is refined
    locally and will likely be blended into locally refined base petrol -
    that's the other 15% of the total.
