Petrol expected to hit $2 a Litre

[MR_VX]

I'm happy to whinge about fuel prices, as I'm trying to pay off a new car for the misses as well as a new house on apprentice wages. So yes it does matter to some

You soon learn that some in this forum don't give a rat's arse about others. The "I'm alright Jack" attitude is alive and well here. I note that most replies are from V8 owners, so obviously, they consider fuel to be a minor issue as they know they will use a fair bit of it and prices rises don't matter so much. Others don't have long journeys to work everyday, so again, it's not a worry to them. Good luck to them. For some people, who live in areas where work is a fair distance away, and public transport is poor or non-existent, or for tradies who drive bulk distances each year, substantial increases in petrol prices will affect them. Saying that it will cost an extra $2 grand a year is over the top and typical of the media, who love to mould public opinion, but you can bet that any increases, over and above international fuel costs, will affect a lot of people. Just not many on this forum, I guess.

Yeah, this site is full of people who love the 'cant afford it, stiff **** line' be it taxes, petrol, speeding fines, rego, insurance etc. etc.

For the average household, yes, $2p/l is redicuals for fuel and something needs to be done about it or better public transport needs to be introduced.

Mostly because it is the only argument their intelligence level allows. I drive a V8 but it doesn't mean I'd happily accept $2.00 a litre!

I don't know what others thoughts behind their comments are but in my case I grew up in a family of whingers and now work with a whole bunch of whingers so I can't really be bothered jumping on the band wagon and becoming one also. Life is too short to keep getting upset over things you got no control over, so as I said as long as LPG stays cheap then I don't really care.
My LPG conversion paid itself off in no time with the klms I do and that's why I did it.

i wouldn't say the site is full of them just a few
and they're the same ones who trot out the usual **** that they made excellent life choices so they are far superior to the rest of us common folk.
wank wank

fuel prices well and truly suck at the moment
i paid $1.59 a litre on monday today i paid $1.37 so it was a little better

 

[Full Spectrum]

I paid $1.54 wednesday, saturday cheaper $1.45. Thing with rising fuels is watch the days its cheaper they have changed.

 

[Tree cutter]

The only good thing that will come out of high fuel prices is the fact that some people will be more determined to develop alternative fuels. i cant wait for the day to come when fuel companies cant give away the fuel we use now because better fuels have been developed.
