Just made 2.22 a litre in Adelaide for Ron 91

55 cents in broken hill

[Fizzie]

Son was chatting to somebody in Portland, Oregon yesterday arvo, & mentioned petrol prices.

They said that they're currently paying $6.58/gallon, which sounds bad, but works out to only ~$1.73/l, but that's USD so that then becomes $2.38/l AUD

Considering prior to the Biden Administration it was about $2 a gallon and been steadily increasing to about $4 - 5 a gallon prior to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.

In our current times of racism calls over anything, why does white get the first go in chess yet black has first go in checkers?

I'm too buggered to do the maths, but did you allow for the fact a US gallon is only 3.75lts and ours is 4.5lts.

[Bird]

LPG'ers would be happy, $1.12 over the road at moment... still better then 2.20

[Fizzie]

Yep!

[Jeepers Creepers]

Yep!

Lucky for you huh.

New analysis has shown a "shocking" rise in some grocery products with claims the cost of living has skyrocketed

my question... will it ever drop once people get used to bending over for a loaf...

[NZMarkb]

Diesel went from $2.34 to $2.65 here in the last week and due to go up again tonight ??

[Bird]

Im not good at maths and Im certainly not wise....

But they removed 20 cents off fuel excise?

Why has fuel dropped close to 70-80 cents

2.20-2.30 down to 1.50-1.55 ?

Shouldn't it drop 20 cents?

For crying out loud wystfu , they might read this and put it up again

no doubt they will... war, excise or the fact that the day of the week has the letter Y in it.

What you talking about Willis
70-80 cents, It's only dropped about 40 cents around here.

91 round here has gone down to 160-170, but diesel is still 195-199

Same here, slow to see the reduction in diesel prices.

yep, same.. diesel up petrol down

[DrewXT]

And why is it that Costco were the only retailer to drop the prices immediately?

The attendant at Moorabbin told me last week that they are getting 4-6 down deliveries a day they're moving that much fuel!!

I don't get this.
Sitting in traffic, this is the M1, Byron Bay turn off looking south towards St Helena.
Also the hours spent in lines at airports.

Some don't have any option, other to take the days off and try to get away.

Just like holidaying during the school holidays... yes, it's bedlam, but if you don't have another option, do you just stay home?

take 1 day off and come home tomorrow

[paceman]

Or just accept the fact that you will sit in traffic for a while, but you will still get home and have saved an annual leave day for another time.

While consumers can cut back on petrol kms with price heavy transport and industry can't if you want your supply chain up and running-
