petrol survey

What prices are people getting around the place at the moment?

154.9 here in Goulburn for ULP today.

If they keep this up, the servos will have to start hiring surgeons, so
you can pay by cash, card or kidney.

 

Same in Canberra I think - I put PULP in mine this arv for 164.something I
think... it scares me to look at it too closely.

betty

 

Cost me over $50.00 to fill the BMW today, a first for me to spend over
$50.00 on a bike for fuel.

Ive never paid >$30 to fill up the bird but im sure thats not too far away.

 

I filled a bike (39$) a Jag (127$) and a smurf today ( home made bio so
only $19.00)
still hurts now if the govco would piss off the tax we could afford
fuel again.

 

Cost $51 to put 35 litres into a Getz in Brisbane this morning.

145.9 for ulp at Caltex in Toowoomba today.

 

Yep 154.9 for ULP in Canberra, the usual extra for PULP. I paid 70.8
for LPG tonight.

 

Think it was 1.54/L for premium 2 days ago when I filled Fritz.

 

At least you doubled it's value!

Crude is still only at about $120 a barrel.
It'll go at least $200 in the next couple of years.

That'd be roughly $2.50 a litre or about where Europe is now.

Those 50cc scooters are looking better and better (well ok as long as it
isn't a Honda one eh Johno

Sure, they can take the tax off fuel.. but they still need the money.
Instead of paying them $1000 in fuel excise they'd be just as happy to
take $1000 in bread tax or milk tax, or motorcycle/car/truck/bus tax.

Does petrol cost money? I just hand over the fuel card.

I guess when the libs take it back in a couple of years we will find
something else to complain about as the fuel will be impossible
( thanks swan and krud you bastards)

 

I actually think that the fuel tax (annoying as it is) is actually a
better way than the other options (like flat vehicle taxes) because it
has the effect of driving up fuel prices which cause people to economize
by driving less and buying more fuel efficient cars.

First road bike I road was a C50

Sure

VB or beer Mate?

In general principle I agree with that, Geoff, but there are all the
other twists and turns of the convoluted tax setup which encourages desk
bound Sydney accountants to run bloody great 4x4 trucks as a tax
minimisation strategy.

Maybe the Z50 will get a bit more use.

Look at it this way:

Your average motorbike will travel somewhere around 20km on a litre of
petrol.

How long would it take you to push it 20km? 4 hours?

So you're effectively paying a bit under $0.40 per hour of hard
physical labour. It's an absolute fucking bargain. Enjoy Peak
Civilisation while you can.

Yup... annoying that.
