The minute they mentioned going into partnership with SWIFT all the alarm bells should have signalled.
These guys should be doing gaol time. IMO. ON topic Diesel's still the same price as Thurday here.

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/wo...-could-win-big
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us...critically-low Diesel pressure is a worldwide thing. Not knowledgeable enough to know if it's that fracking delivers the US more light petroleum grade fuel than diesel, or if it's the depletion of heavier oils, echoes of supply/demand shocks, or just printing heaps of currency, or anything else. Probably best to be on good terms with your local fish&chip or Chinese restaurant owner...

The AUD against the USD is @ 68.4c,this is not helping the price of fuel also, so you have to put that into context as well.

USA are saying fuel Was $1.89 US Gallon that Trump got it down to and now it's up to $7.00 a US Gallon.
So what's that in Australia a Litre ? Looks like the price for oil is still going to go up. |

Exchange rate of 1 USD is 1.45 AUD I think it is about $2.68 Australian per litre. |

Seeing $2.16/L around Melton and up to the $2.20/L mark in surrounding suburbs all for 91.
Good time to have no licence, though if this crap keeps up when I get it back fuel will probably be $45.45+ GST per liter for 91 ![]() LPG still the MVP at the 0.96-$1/L mark. |

Hopefully prices keep increasing so much people just can't afford to drive to work anymore and there's now a huge push for working from home that's currently being rolled back in an effort to repopulate the big offices in the CBD, or a transport strike with commercial vehicles that blocks all the major freeways. Who remembers when Kazakhstan set their country on fire when fuel prices rose from .16/L to .32/L ![]() https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-59896471 |

Diesel in SW Sydney from the independents around $1.90, go to the branded places up the road at near $2.09 pl.
When this temporary discount is returned fuel could be near $2.50 pl. Throw in a few rate rises, inflation of 5%, food and rents going up 7% ish and there will be a lot of worried families right around Christmas time. Then more pain predicted in 2023... Perfect storm of social destruction.

A US Gallon is 3.7854 Litres. Divide 10.13 by 3.7854 equals $2.68 Australian per litre. A couple of replies say I have stuffed up. Please tell me where? |

We've mentioned these plenty of times on the forums before, no one is listening, it's like we're Waiting for Godot for the great moment of cheap electrification without considering CNG or more E85 or even coal to diesel (gasp!)

It's getting pretty expensive for sure, but I reckon I'm driving so much less since corona - work is home based, short drive to beach, walk to shops or a short drive if slack. Life has slowed down and tbh I'm enjoying it. Instead of facilities managers yelling at me, I have Rosellas busting their lungs out in the red flowered gum tree next door.
