it's official 98ron is now $2.03 per litre. it's a crime and the regional council still wants to implement another 5cents/ltr petrol tax for roading
wankers. 95ron is $1.89 and 91ron is $1.86![]()

We can only hope Australia goes the same way, might make roads a little less congested

I can't wait for petrol to become unaffordable for a lot of people.
More space on the roads for me ![]() And for the record, I'm guessing that's $2.03 New Zealand dollars which at the time of posting = $1.71 Australian. AND the GST in NZ is higher than ours so the Australian price would be even less. |

Thats NOT a good thing! Why yes, roads would be less congested, would you be happy paying that much for bloody petrol? Not to mention the fact that as soon as the price of oil goes up that much, the cost of everything else will as well, yay inflation, not.

Sure other things will go up in time...maybe, all the more reason that Australia needs to move more freight on trains and less on interstate trucks. Perhaps more people will grow their own vegetables instead of paying huge amounts etc. I almost died when I seen the price people pay for fresh veg at safeway etc same for meat, we haven't bought Pork, Lamb or Beef for about 6 years now. Cheaper to buy a few cows, pigs etc and have them butchered yourself, tastes better too!!

For the record, I never think just for myself, I always consider my family and friends, that's about where it ends though.

You actually said "because you're only thinking about yourself and not the struggling familes out there"which implies I should be thinking about struggling families!
As for selfish? Not at all. Why is it wrong to look forward to something that's going to benefit me? Is it selfish to look forward to my pay cheque at the end of the month just because it's a lot more than someone else's? Is it selfish to look forward to my holidays overseas just because there are people that can't go overseas for holidays? |

it's much worse then that though, we pay $4.30 for 2ltr's of milk. loaf of bread is $3.50-4.00. butter is $3.50+ for 500grams and cheese is $12 kg. we also pay a blanket GST on everyproduct 12.5% infact i believe you can get NZ milk cheaper in australia (and hte UK) then you can in NZ. the government is saying people should feed there kids healthy foods, yet a 2.25ltr bottle of coke lessthen $2 at the supermarket and chips are cheap as well. rising petrol costs are passed straight onto the consumer atthe supermarket so prices are only going to go up
