WTI down to $79p/b in U.S due to lower demand and possible global recession.

Ya gotta scratch ya head .. BP next door raised their 91 price to $1.98 last Wed, the United opposite is still $1.55 yet people are still buying fuel from the BP ???
I downloaded the PetroSpy app for my phone and it has been a real money saver, especially with Diesel ! |

All the fuel brands get their fuel at the same place and same tanks. But the difference is what additives are added to each brand before / during it goes into their tankers. Thats the difference.

Seems to be different on a state by state basis, its 5L in apartments in NSW, 20L maximum under roof of a house as well. SA seems to say 120L on the property but not under the roof of the house - put it on the boundary fence with your neighbors ![]() |

Russia has been getting its *** handed to it in its ridiculous invasion of Ukraine thanks to backing of Eastern Europe, Western Europe, UK, US + Australia. I wouldn't expect someone from New Zealand to understand the issues around China and its Uighur slave camps, given how keen NZ has been to sell out to China, if your government was smart it would realise it needs to diversify away from trade with China given the trade war they kicked off with Australia over our government asking questions about COVID. As far as the US/UK/NATO killing muslims, maybe if you look over the past 30 years you should direct your questions at Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait, Serbia trying to exterminate Bosniaks, the Saudis who flew the planes into the twin towers and Afghanistan for harboring terrorists. Russia took away Ukraine's independence in 1922, forcing them into the USSR after they lost the Ukraine independence war going from 1917-1922, then Russia suppressed their language and culture. Russia also caused a massive famine in Ukraine just prior to WWII that killed 5 million Ukrainians, only after the collapse of the USSR in 1991 did they become independent again once more, where Russia immediately started interfering in their politics. Ukraine also inherited 30% of the former USSR's nuclear weapons arsenal in 1991 when it became independent, which the US and UK agreed to support Ukraine in the event of Russian aggression on the terms that they gave up their newly acquired nuclear weapons arsenal. Its called the 'Budapest memorandum' Russia has been interfering in Ukraine's politics post 1991 independence, all the way up until 2014 when the country got the ****s up and turfed out its government who decided to reject the EU against Ukrainians wishes to forge closer ties to Western Europe, instead getting chummy with Russia. Then Russia immediately sends soldiers into Ukraine then annexes Crimea in a sham referendum while the US and Europe sat by and watched it happen. As far as the US pursuing peace talks with Russia over Ukraine - Russia does not believe there is such a thing as Ukrainian language or culture, Vladimir Putin himself has even said it, for Ukrainians it is a life or death scenario if they can't defend themselves against Russia, either they fight for their country or their language, their culture and their people will be exterminated. All the other Eastern European countries are looking at that and wondering if they're next if Ukraine capitulated. The only reason NATO has been expanding eastwards towards Russia is all those Eastern European nations have had enough of being persecuted by Russian aggression over the last 500 years and see it as insurance and its their best insurance policy against a Russian dictator. The biggest mistake the West has made since WWII is thinking that forging trade partnerships with dictatorships will placate them, they'll still take your money but they don't think twice about their murderous intentions, as Europe and Germany in particular is finding out about allowing themselves to rely on a dictatorship dressed up as a democracy to supply them with critical supplies like oil and gas. If we didn't sanction Russia and support Ukraine, you bet your *** China would have made a move on Taiwan. You think you'd have your 'Treaty of Waitangi' under Chinese rule? Maori's and European New Zealanders wouldn't even exist in the pages of history books if you fell under China's rule ![]() I'm not sure about New Zealand, I'd still rather live under the influence of US and the UK compared to China and Russia - at least the US and UK let your elites stay in their places and they just pull the strings from behind the scenes. |

Wrong on so many levels it is breathtaking. The rest of your post would require pages of response to the contrary. Russia has a dictator? Who elected King Charles?

![]() As far as Russia having a dictator, absolutely - you might want to brush up on the 1993 Russian constitutional crisis how Boris Yeltsin consolidated power in the Russian presidency and stripped the Russian parliament of all its power, paving the way for Vladimir Putin to have his vice grip control over the country. Russia did have a democracy, for about 2 years before it died between 1991-1993. During that time the Russian president's power was limited by their parliament, who were elected by their people, it was the highest authority in Russia that could veto or pass laws, appoint governmental officials and even impeach their president - what a great start for a new country, until it turned to **** in October 1993 ![]() As far as the British royal family goes, they've got virtually no control over the UK parliament aside from a couple of conventions, so its nothing like the power that Vladimir Putin has over all levels of the Russian government or Xi Jinping over the CCCP.

Give it a break King Charles is only a figure head; the prime minister and the UK government is duly elected and runs the country.

Why should I bother refuting liberation of mindless rhetoric?
Burden of proof is on you. I would rather spend the evening scratching my left gonad,

This is the part where you go - no (here is my evidence refuting your points). But the reason you won't is because you can't refute my points because you can't provide evidence from credible sources against anything I've said ![]() Though I think its interesting you singled out a sole paragraph out of my entire post, why would that be? |

If you want to believe all the propaganda coming from the western media then you go hard, just like the ghost of kiev that muppets were rallying behind a few months back, utter tripe and false hope. No one and I mean, no one in the west or likely the east has any idea what Russia will do or the west would have anticipated the reactions of Russia to the stupid sanctions that are penalising the citizens of the west. You should ask your mate Mike Pompeo about killing Muslims, the US killed them by the 100s of thousands in countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran yet somehow those in China aren't.... only because they are safe in China and it suits the narrative of naughty China who is the bad guy.... How well all this is aging.... hmmmm lets see, Russia is still in the former Ukraine and WILL annex another 15% of it in short time, the clown Zelensky who is being directed by 'Lil Bill' to keep fighting is wasting his time as are most of the EU leaders who are also making false claims if what has happened, what will happen etc. There have been large protests in Prague and Brussels over the cost of living, energy prices etc all as a result of the US/EUs sanctions against Russia yet none of that has been reported in the MSM as our Governments don't want that negative side of the sanctions gaining traction with the wider public. If you want to put your head in the sand or put your hands over you ears and mumble monotones when the other side of the story is being told then again, you go hard, after all, if it wasnt for muppet sheepeople those calling the shots on behalf of the big money corporations would not still be in power, geez, took the UK long enough to wake up to Bobo yet they go and put Truss in whos answer is to cut taxes.... lol, like Bobo wouldn't have tried that if it had any hope of working to arrest the UKs slide downhill?! Not sure why you are so scared of China, seems a double standard that the US accepts the One China yet wants to see Taiwan break away whilst saying that it would be illegal for the Donbass etc to leave Ukraine.... hell the US is arming Taiwan, funny they dont want to arm the Donbass against Ukraine and its bombings.... China is not your enemy.... as Kissinger (you know who he is right?) once said, "To be an enemy of the US can be dangerous, but to be a friend can be Fatal". My treaty you talk of.... where's the treaty for your original land owners? Oh that's right, the colonist British almost eradicated them, such nice guys the British aye, guess your just happy you weren't born as a first nation person huh.... not sure what you found funny about your comment either but hey, true colours and such aye! Quite happy to sit back now and watch the developments as they happen for regardless of the outcome, the US empire is crumbling and the EU's peoples will wake up to having been duped eventually. |

But sure, lets blame the lizard people. Australia basically determines what happens within its own borders after the Australia Act 1986, which removed the UK Parliaments powers over Australian government. The only remnant is the Governor General who can dissolve parliament, given King Charles has just landed his first job in his 73 laps of the sun, I highly doubt he's going to start interfering in Australian politics. Do I support the monarchy, no - but thats a bit far off the topic of how Western governments have caused their 'petrol price crisis' by overly relying on dictatorships or 'kingdoms' which is why everyone here is paying circa $2/L for 91.

It will be a shame to close a thread that's been going for 14 years, but that's what is going to happen unless politics is left out unless it directly relates to the thread topic.

Noticed Broadmeadows has been $1.96/L for 91 for the past week or so but out here in regional VIC it was hovering around $1.63/L
To me it looks like the servos gone up to $1.96/L early will just keep it the same when the excise comes back in and getting in a decent profit in the last week or so while they can. Also isn't the price of oil dropping at the moment? Is anyone here working from home in an effort to mitigate driving? There's a huge push by commercial landlords in the city to try force everyone back to the CBD office spaces. |

Did a return trip from Toowoomba to the Gold Coast yesterday. Cheapest E10 in Toowoomba at about 12:30 this morning was 137.9, average was 153.9 along the Warrego with a few (BP) At 193.9 and very patchy on the Coast. (like 40 cent variance within 200 metres). So add 15 to 25 cents for 98 and it's starting to get pretty average again. Lucky I filled 3x20 litre drums earlier in the week.
It'competely baffling and seems to have no rhyme or reason. |

Since our fuel prices are affected by the USD/AUD fluctuations it's no surprise that prices are staying high.
We were 75c against USD recently...now 65c last time I looked....that's crashing..

Melbourne northern suburbs is ripping people off to the tune of 40c/L which i find interesting because its the low socioeconomic suburbs where cost of living expense increases really hurt the local population. The two servos just off the M80 on Pascoe Vale Rd in Jacana were up at the $1.96/L mark for 91 well before everyone else did. |

The most infuriating thing is that inflation is being pushed by external costs beyond our borders, the price of fuel and most imported goods is basically gouging everyone and the reserve bank’s answer is basically jack up interests to kill our healthy economy. I guess when you’re a hammer(RBA) with one skill (interest rates), every problem looks like a nail… |
