I’m so upset!

I just went to fill up and was cursing the cost before I even pulled out my phone to look for the cheapest place.

There it was, my local, the cheapest around and to my horror under $2 a litre for E10!

The bastards!!

I had already formatted a plan to start a tread whining about how expensive it is but now I can’t.

Well, it’s still too expensive but not if you have recently visited New Zealand.

I feel so defeated I can’t have a good bitch about the government this time.

But I take heart in knowing….it’s only Wednesday.

Albo and co will stuff up several times before Sunday 👍

Unleaded 98 is $2.33 in some places here in Melbourne:

That’s what I was preparing for. Had the cash. Keyboard ready to vent.

Didn’t happen.

Ruins my night

Delete your childish nonsense and I'll add a proper poll.

It is about $2.30/L around here for premium unleaded, too. But I only get that premium unleaded if the weather has been humid or raining.

Did anyone remember of that campaign to not buy petrol on certain days of the week? You would skip buying petrol on, say, a Monday. Then that was supposed to get petrol stations to bring down petrol prices, somehow. I think the campaigners got it wrong. You should not be driving around on a certain day of the week. If there was less petrol usage, people won't go to fill up their cars as often. Then the petrol stations might be oversupplied with petrol, and will reduce their prices a little. Not buying on one day of the week, but still driving around as often is not going to stop petrol stations from high priced petrol.

Let me consider that carefully, no.
