Unfortunately our $AU value seems to be falling faster than the barrel price of crude oil.

These are a few comments from a mate who runs 14 bobcat/excavator combos.

1.
"I must say recent developments in Oil Prices and the behaviour of OPEC have me giggling. Now that there is a real competitor for their oil, the only way for price is down. They chose to keep producing despite the low price, because THEY WOULD LOSE MARKET SHARE! Costs will follow, and the Global Economy will get a shot in the arm. The World is awash with oil.

Man the Greenies must be pissed, LOL!"

Someone asked who was the competitor.

2.
"The USA. Fracking is producing soooo much oil, and there is soooo much of it. Wait for Australia, Europe, Russia, the UK to start as well. The Arab monopoly is almost dead in the water."

The OPEC countries are trying to bankrupt the us companies as the US cost to produce is more expensive,

Had a look, it's displaying local ulp91 prices between $1.36-$1.52 ?? , I filled up last week for $1.05, I'm guessing I didn't get the price increase memo,,wtf

It appears as though the 'United' branded servos keep their prices upto date on this site, at least for SA. I registered, as it could be a useful app to have on the phone.

On that note, how long can you store diesel.  I know petrol goes off pretty quickly but what about diesel

I got 10 litres here that is about 12 years old, might throw it in a diesel Gemini and see! On that note I just brought back a diesel Gemini from the farm, I bought it 3 years ago and who knows how long it sat for before, still ran the same

97.5 with discount.


noticed something interesting at the Caltex near Kenworth on Canterbury Rd

Truck Diesel and Vortex Diesel - both different prices... whats the difference in the 2 diesels.. betting they come out of the same tank on the tanker.
