How much is fuel where you are ???????????

[Courty]

$109.9 here in Cairns yesterday morning.

[Jarro]

Just heard on a news update that fuel has nudged below $1 a litre here in Brissy

[kev]

Yeah and when you do a search using Motormouth it states a tip
"Not familiar with a service station address? Search for that address with Google Maps."

The google widget shows the servos.

Ahh, good point.

[PeteyD]

Saw it for 97.9 (with a 4c discount) the other day.

[poidda]

I filled up at 90.9 yesterday (with a 4c discount)

How nice is it to see the litres go up quicker than the price for a change!

[Grunt]

Around $1 a litre here in Sydney still, on the radio today some servo had it for 97c/litre.

[BrisVegas]

Let's all go buy Falcons and Commodores!

Been a while hasn't it

Word is it'll get cheaper soon too .... dare we dream that it might get below 90 cents a litre

[AndyP]

This can't be good for our individual carbon footprints.

[PeteyD]

Nothing wroing with it. The algea will eat all the exhaust.

I'm quite happy with the fuel economy of my BA Falcon Ute. It'll do 9lt/100klm all day long on the highway.
Considering it weighs in at almost 2 tonne & has a bullbar attached to the front, I reckon it does alright.

On the other hand The Proton Jumbuck weighs almost half as much but still uses 5.8lt/100klm on the highway.

I'll take the Falcon over the Jumbuck anyday of the week!

[BrisVegas]

I read that the FG Falcon is the most fuel efficient 6 cylinder family car on the market and actually gives the 4 cyl Camry a nudge when driven responsibly. I hope the current fuel prices take a bit of heat off the local carmakers, so people can focus on what great cars they are.

So I hear that the price of oil is $39USD a barrel today, down from what, $110 at it's peak ?

So why has the price of fuel only just come back to $1.00 a litre down from $1.50 ?

Ripoff ****s !

[Dazza]

Indeed.
As I keep telling everyone, both the dollar & oil have been this low before.
And petrol was a bloody lot lower than it is today!

[poidda]

I'm not sticking up for the fuel companies here (even though I work for one), but you have to remember Crude is just a small factor in the price of fuel. Everyone knows how the cost of tradies, engineers, insurances ete etc has risen during the mining boom, well refineries are run by there professions. The cost of producing fuel is astronomical before a single litre is produced, so there is always a basline cost.

And for the record the oiol peaked at $145.

poidda - perhaps if you lowered your hourly rate a touch, Caltex could pass the savings on to motorists.

My point exactly! But why would caltex pass on the savings when I work for BP?

[3oneday]

I don't disagree at all, but would they ever actually disclose what that baseline is

[poidda]

Never. Like any company. Sheesh, I can't believe the cost of a bottle of water these days. And water is free!

[Eag's]

I paid 88c a litre the other day

[PeteyD]

I can't believe that people buy bottled water! It always amazes me that fuel companies are not allowed to make any money, or put up prices to cover costs on public holidays etc etc.

[Dazza]

99.9CPL on Friday.
96.9CPL on my way to work this morning.

[Grunt]

96.9 on the way home this evening. Wonder if it will spike tomorrow and Wednesday?

[Bruce]

I never thought I'd see less than 1.00/l again, but I am seeing that even here in Bendigo this week.

It's nice to see the litres traveling faster than the dollars for a change!
