Was just thinking.

I only eva been in QLD and NSW, i seriously need to get around more. neva been overseas either.


anywho....


which state has the cheapest fuel generally? i know NSW generally is more expensive than QLD fuel.

I don't know, I don't look at the price when I fuel up.
-Staggers.

i think QLD and Brisbane being the cheapest in the state

Yeah, I'd say QLD as well. I come from SA and on a schoolies trip to the Gold Coast it was down around $1.00-$1.10 while at home it was up around $1.30. That's if I remember correctly.

well i paid $1.40 a litre this arvo for premium out here in south west sydney

$1.36 today for just unleaded... that was the cheapest i could find it. Everywhere else was $1.37!

Not the NT thatrs for sure, ulp $1.42+ pulp $1.52+. On the same not a couple of my navy mates are driving to Victoria at the moment and they paid $1.68 ulp at tennant creek.

Gotta love the territory.

It's almost time to sell the toys and by a vespa.

You guys down south have got it easy, our prices have been like that for over 18mths and rising.

QLD has a state governemnt 'rebate' of 8 cents a litre on fuel, so it should always be cheaper than other states.

yeah... there was a scam for a while where truckies were buying the cheaper fuel from Queensland... filling up their tanks.... then driving to NSW and selling it to smaller trucks at a higher price, but it was still cheaper than what they'd be paying in a NSW servo

government put a cap on the tax threshold to stop it... party poopers :P

On Today Tonight, they have made a deal with 6 United petrol stations and the price of unleaded in Altona United will be locked in at 121.7 until close Sunday and E10 blend at 117.7

So I would say that would have to be the cheapest petrol.

Not cheap up here in Nhulunbuy, ULP $1.58, PULP $1.66, from the only outlet here.

Not cheap down south either, last time fill my car with PULP thats was 149.9c. Can get cheap stuff down here at really odd places but not in Hobart.

from memory the sheapest spot by a fair bit was the NSW/QLD border, 2 competing servos in the twin towns were upto 5c/litre cheaper then any of their neighbors

United Yarra Glen has unleaded at 122.7 until Sunday night also.

yeah all the petrol sniffers are turning to herion someones gotta pay for the war bullets n bombs aint cheap
queensland taxpayers have just payed to have a 3 month long inquiry into fuel prices and at the end they came out straight faced n said "we found nothing" soooooo the victorian state gov decided hey we should have an inquiry :duh ithink its in progress now ummmm just to add the gov currently takes about 75c/ltr non funded inquiry but me thinks this could be contributing to high petrol prices but... im no scholar

The best bit is we pay a 30+ cents per litre excise (tax) and then GST on the whole pump price which is 10%

Sooooo we pay tax on a tax???????

that tax on tax would be about 3 cents per litre. Not much when you consider that the oil company is getting about $1 per litre.

H

If you use 33 litres a week at 3c per litre tax on a tax, that is $1.00 a week, $50 a year, maybe 10 million motorists. Gives a total of half a billion dollars a year.

I use Optismax Extreme, if it's more than $1.50 a litre I use normal Optismax. :P

anyone hear on the news recently?

Australia no longer has no national debt AT ALL!

and our treasury has 17 BILLION $$$ stashed in the bank!!!

Just shows u how the taxes ad up for the government.
I'm lucky working at Tandy, cause its owned by the woolies corporation, I get discount card at many stores, including big w, woolies, bws, dicko smitties and even WOOLIES PLUS PETROL stations!

5% though but save 5c per $1.

Woolworths fuel is cheap rubbish (kinda like a mix of LRP and metho!). Used it years ago and my car ran like a pig. The money you save, you can spend on re-building your engine. Frankly, the price of petrol is an absoloute joke and a rort. But, at the end of the day, my cars and bike need it to run so I have to fork out the dough to get somewhere (unless i use public transport and put up with school kids, unemployed jerks and pensioners) - I can do that when I get to work thanks. But anyhow, I always fill up at the same servo where I know the fuel is of a reputable quality and they turn enough of it over so it doesn't go stale and crappy. I would rather spend a small ammount extra per litre knowing that I am getting as decent a fuel as is available to me than cheap crap that will destroy my engine faster than acid just to save $2.50 on a tank of gas. Food for thought....:puke
