    This is crazy stuff, I filled up last Saturday at $1.89.5 and today it is now $1.95.00. 3 weeks ago it was $1.73.9 for diesel.

      high 1.80's here.
      Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.

        Hi
        Prices in Germany:
        Diesel and Petrol are for the first time now equal at 1,52 Euro.
        That´s 2,47 A$.
        Streets are not noticeable more emty.
        I remember 2004 in WA, we paid around A$ 1,15 and now 50 % more.
        This is very hard as in a big country long distances are more common.
        Think of a Farmer going shopping.

        If I go on offroad-holiday, I now check where petrol is cheap.
        So last year I went to Oman where itl is 0.40 A$.

        I will soon change to LPG which reduces my yearly diesel cost from A$ 7000 to 3500.
        Gas is here at A$ 1,10 and we have about 3500 stations, every month increasing by about 50.
        Gas is now the only way affording a 4wheeler. I am not ready for a small car, not yet.
        bye

          I hate it when major fuel outlets deliberately keep their price up despite fuel prices falling in the hope of catching out unsuspecting drivers.

          :evil: :evil:

          I almost pulled into a major retail outlet along a main road to fuel up this evening, but noticed that its bowser prices were still high considering I had observed that other outlets all around town had reduced their diesel price by at about 4 cents/L. So I travelled a further 1km down the road and ended up saving 6c/L at another major outlet through their cheaper pricing and by also obtaining a service discount.

          You've got to keep a close eye on the prices, otherwise you can easily get caught out.

                      Yes... but the beach, weather and lifestyle here makes it all worthwhile.

                        Cairns is $1.54 for Diesel and $1.45 for ULP at the moment. Down about 10c/l for Diesel from the last time I was home and filled up before heading to PNG :evil:
