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.

QLD has a state governemnt 'rebate' of 8 cents a litre on fuel, so it should always be cheaper than other states.
A POSSE AD ESSE.
I live in my own little world, but it's okay, they know me here.

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.

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.

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.

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

and all the oil company has to do is.. find it ...extract it ..store it....transport it .....ship it round the world ...store it.....refine it
...store it......transport it ...distribute it ..advertise it... store it....and pay to pump it into your tank not much when you consider all the gov
HAS to do is tax it:P oh and then they have to find complex solutions for tax relief almost forgot bout that |
