Title: Oil tankers attacked.

Okay.....but why does this mean petrol prices go up?  Are they the only two tankers in the Universe?  What has happened to the oil in them?  They seem to be still floating?  What?

All the other fuel tankers are to frightened to sail through, supply and demand.

They build the tankers a lot better these days, they are all sectioned off so they can be blown in half, still float and not
and not loose to much oil. The torpedo was a warning shot, like one over the bow.

You would think that with all this talk and reality of electric cars and green energy the oil moguls would try and keep petrol prices as low as possible, saying to the world fossil fuels are cheap as chips.

But nup there in on it too, that is the golden goose on wall street where nations pay for the free air above their country.

As for those cowboys they need another OK Corral (ala Thatcher and Falkland islands) to try and save Fanta pants, but Russia and Iran are allies so it might not be a cake walk after all, maybe WW3.

Who knows maybe Fanta pants unzipped himself in front of Sarah Sanders.

It's time Australia had its own oil and gas industry.

Plus, people get spooked. They might try to increase stockpiles in case this escalates.

One has been rescued ... the other that was on fire & loaded was adrift.

One was loaded the other not.

Stupid idiots that targeted them should realise that if that tanker explodes & sends it's cargo into the sea ... their coastlines & fisheries will be stuffed .... as well as other countries.

Trouble is those responsible don't has the nous for constructive thought processes regarding action & responsibility & consequence.

Australia's stockpile is very, very low at the moment.

Much less than the required 90 days.

when you think where most of the OIL is situated and how  those main countries live....and its all they have....to export......imagine the crisis ahead for those countries.....not in our lifetime maybe.. but it is there

then ask yourselves what the hell are they doing NOW to make their countries sustainable in the future?...seems to me  exporting tall building wont replace oil...

The globalists the oligarchy the 1% they are the ones that run most of the oil in the middle east except for Iran of course.

That and the fact that they haven't been able to place one of their central banks in Iran is why they always have their cross hairs pointed at them.

The massive social and economic divides remain in the oil-rich nations... as a footnote, the Sultan of Brunei, formerly considered somewhat 'moderate' and Western etc, has decreed that women 'guilty' of adultery will be publicly stoned.

No it isn't. It needs no excuse at all. It is a good thing. It delivers goods to those who value them most. It means if not enough is being produced, there is an immediate incentive to increase production, without the need to invoke the wheels of bureaucracy.

Can't help but ask why somebody of your age would ask the above questions.........

Doesn't it occur to you (Mr Ex Lawyer?) that if this is Iran's doing (which it most likely is), the chance of an all out war with the US occurs exponentially thus causing the price of oil to skyrocket.........and the 'whereabouts' of two or three tanker loads of crude oil is really not the point, what will happen to the billion and billions of barrels of crude oil if there is a war....... ::)

Look at Nigeria 8th biggest exporter of oil.

They have installed a dictator who lives like a king and the people live in poverty and squalor.

As for communism most of the these globalist want a communist state for the plebs a one world government must be easier to control the masses with this system but of course it wont apply to them.

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/06/14/politics/us-drone-tracked-iranian-boats/index.html


Trump says Iran 'did do it'

The United Kingdom released a statement Friday saying it is "almost certain" that a branch of the Iranian military -- the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) -- attacked two tankers.
The IRGC is an elite wing of the Iranian military that was established in the aftermath of the country's revolution in 1979. In April 2019, the US officially designated it as a foreign terrorist organization, a move which was rejected by authorities in Tehran.
No other state or non-state actor "could plausibly have been responsible," the statement added.
But Iran does not appear to be backing off and continues to engage in provocative behavior, according to a US official who told CNN on Friday that Iranian small boats are preventing tug boats from towing away one of the damaged tankers.

President Donald Trump seems convinced that Tehran was responsible.
With Iran, sometimes the logical explanation is the correct one

"Iran did do it and you know they did it because you saw the boat," he said,
appearing to refer to the images and video released by the Pentagon late Thursday.



In the video, a smaller boat is shown coming up to the side of the Japanese-owned tanker. An individual stands up on the bow of the boat and can be seen removing an object from the tanker's hull. The US says that object is likely an unexploded mine.
A senior diplomatic source of a US ally told CNN Friday, "It is a virtual certainty Iran was behind this latest attack. The video now nails it."
The source added that the goal of the response from the US government thus far is all about publicly exposing Iranian actions and intensifying maximum pressure.

Last time I looked a ship mine was as big as a car and floated just under the surface of the water.

How did this mine that can be removed by one man become attached to the hull of the tanker.

Can something that fits in mans hand really put a hole in the tankers hull.....???

The American government and all those agencies it has commissioned are the real cancer on this Earth, if we have WW3 they are the f@rkers that will be responsible.

And in a way we're all guilty, why don't people stand up and say PROVE IT MOTHERF@RKER....???

Then and only then can any action be taken.

Okay.....but why does this mean petrol prices go up?  Are they the only two tankers in the Universe?  What has happened to the oil in them?  They seem to be still floating?  What?

All the other fuel tankers are to frightened to sail through, supply and demand.

They build the tankers a lot better these days, they are all sectioned off so they can be blown in half, still float and not
and not loose to much oil. The torpedo was a warning shot, like one over the bow.


I hate that excuse .... it's used to justify profiteering at someone elses expense or misery.


No it isn't. It needs no excuse at all. It is a good thing. It delivers goods to those who value them most. It means if not enough is being produced, there is an immediate incentive to increase production, without the need to invoke the wheels of bureaucracy.


I knew you'd claim it's not profiteering ... but it is ... and it only takes the slightest excuse.

2 tankers are fargall .... slack can easily be taken up.

It's like the way the price of fuel at the bowser changes hourly ... when some arab farts on an oil rig in Saudi Arabia a barrel of oil goes up a dollar and the price of fuel rises straight away ..... when the price of a barrel drops ... it takes days to be reflected at the bowser if at all.

The increase in price is the mechanism by which the slack is taken up.

They have installed a dictator who lives like a king and the people live in poverty and squalor.

As for communism most of the these globalist want a communist state for the plebs a one world government must be easier to control the masses with this system but of course it wont apply to them.

Global warming is the start of a one world government.

Hong Kong if the Chinese government throws enough money at the Hong Kong authorities anything is possible as for the people and their demands do they really care....?

ajax since the beginning of time its never been any different..


but dont you see how this AGGRESSION  is getting bigger and worse.......are the French still burning down their city???

its like a pending eruption it just bubbles away for many many years   until the smallest trigger sets it off and there is no stopping it..like an avalanche

if there was a way we would have found it by now...

even if they manage to stop the discontent...its only a temporary  bandaid at best....

if you have ever felt resentment....you will know it never really goes away completely..

then ask yourselves what the hell are they doing NOW to make their countries sustainable in the future?...seems to me  exporting tall building wont replace oil...

you never know ajax   maybe the West can see whats ahead for oil reliant countries.....

and are just marking time.


The globalists the oligarchy the 1% they are the ones that run most of the oil in the middle east except for Iran of course.

That and the fact that they haven't been able to place one of their central banks in Iran is why they always have their cross hairs pointed at them.

Terrorism is a way to control all people even innocent ones, as for terrorists they have always been on their pay role.

The oligarchy make plans for themselves for the next 50 to 100 years.




but they have masses of people who will not have been protected    WHAT THEN?...

look at Hong Kong right now....happy to become part of Chine.. well they are Chinese to start with.... ::).. and for some unknown reason they thought they would still be in control...

not so says China...

now they see the dawning of reality....BUT is the Hong kong govt listening to the masses???

didnt look like it to me...

Yes I agree with you cods, man is his own worst enemy, never trusting each other wanting to dominate each other wanting to screw each other over.

As long as we live in a society where money is the master rather than a servant this will always be the case and this has always been the case through the ages, wealth, accumulation, hoarding etc.

Maybe it’s our destiny to wipe humanity from the face of this Earth, one thing for sure the Earth and all its creatures would be better off imo.

I believe the Yanks filmed that little boat with a drone aircraft.
proof:

So the Yanks knew what was going on & did nothing about it.

Okay.....but why does this mean petrol prices go up?  Are they the only two tankers in the Universe?  What has happened to the oil in them?  They seem to be still floating?  What?


Any excuse for service stations to raise petrol prices 10c/L, they will take it. It takes forever for the price of petrol to fall to a reasonable level when the oil prices drop.

Iran and Saudi Arabia are very dependent on oil.... exports. Though both countries are diversifying their industries, a large shift away from countries buying their oil will hurt their economy. It would hurt countries like Australia, the USA, Russia, and Norway, too. But, atleast our economies are not strongly reliant on oil exports.

There is a global market for oil. My friends and I are hardly representative of it. But I would buy from the place charging $1.40 rather than the place charging $1.45.

tell me, why does the local servo, who bought the petrol in their holding tanks last week at $1.40, suddenly put up the price on that petrol by .05 or .10c because the hong kong price went up today? Did they have to pay any extra for the petrol already in their tanks, the petrol they are selling you? NO ... they just put it up because they can ... it's pure profiteering.

no, i am arguing that petrol stations use the excuse to profiteer.

tell me, why does the local servo, who bought the petrol in their holding tanks last week at $1.40, suddenly put up the price on that petrol by .05 or .10c because the hong kong price went up today? Did they have to pay any extra for the petrol already in their tanks, the petrol they are selling you? NO ... they just put it up because they can ... it's pure profiteering.


I guarantee you that your local servo did not buy the petrol for $1.40.



It was an example fd, not scripture.

Average margins on petrol these days is about .10c a litre.


Crap.


you always accuse people of lying when you don't like the numbers FD?

yes, i think .10c is the same as .1c fd. In both cases the ones are immediately after the decimal point. To be one cent it has to be two places after the decimal point ... or .01c

Over the last few pages you have gone to some lengths to defend the indefensible. Smith is wrong. If he had used .10$ instead of .10c or even how we actually write it 10c, he would be right, even his own pic torpedoed him yet you cling on to defend the dimwit. At the same time he has called anyone who disagreed with him an idiot or some other derogatory name. There are only two idiots here it seems, you and Smith.

What was my claim? 0.1c != 10c? You were out by a factor of 100. Why am I lucky? It's general primary school math, nothing to do with luck, I just learned what was being taught, pity you didn't. Or were you just unlucky to miss school enough you didn't. I thought the decimal system was supposed to make it easy.

Far better to admit that you just made a mistake, but you can't do that, after all you've just called everyone that pointed out your error idiots. Hard to come back from that without loss of credibility and you don't have much of that.

I must admit watching you squirm is fun though. You and Aussie are like bloodworms in a bucket, just waiting for the hook to feed you to the fish.

Hi Set,
Smith likes to argue with people like me who have been to university
& solved solved differential equations with Laplace transforms
amongst many other mathematical topics
over long years of hard study & exams.

The worst thing about ignorant people is that they
don't know how stupid they really are.

What was my claim? 0.1c != 10c? You were out by a factor of 100. Why am I lucky? It's general primary school math, nothing to do with luck, I just learned what was being taught, pity you didn't. Or were you just unlucky to miss school enough you didn't. I thought the decimal system was supposed to make it easy.

Far better to admit that you just made a mistake, but you can't do that, after all you've just called everyone that pointed out your error idiots. Hard to come back from that without loss of credibility and you don't have much of that.

I must admit watching you squirm is fun though. You and Aussie are like bloodworms in a bucket, just waiting for the hook to feed you to the fish.




Hi Set,
Smith likes to argue with people like me who have been to university
& solved solved differential equations with Laplace transforms
amongst many other mathematical topics
over long years of hard study & exams.

The worst thing about ignorant people is that they
don't know how stupid they really are.


at least you've finally acknowledged your problem  ;D ;D


Squirmy wormy.


not sure its appropriate for a mod to call goober a squirmy wormy ... but otherwise I agree, he is a bit of a worm, isn't he.


You also have problems with English and quoting. Not going well for you.



and yet you were the one who left the statement open like that.  ;D ;D ;D

who the farq knows. You don't think I actually pay attention to anything you say, do you?  ;D ;D


You don't know but you claimed I made a claim, no hope for you window licker.


that's because the claim I refer to was before I realised what a lying cheating turd you have become  ... only after incident did I relegate you to the trash bin. Any claims since then carry the word of a lying cheating turd, so not very attention worthy.


Now you are claiming to know when you didn't before? Squirmy much?



no, i am claiming that I used to pay attention to your claims, but since you've proven yourself a lying deceitful prick, I no longer do

You criticise my English but you seem incapable of struggling to understand the basics.

I've told you at least 4 times that I don't make deals with untrustworthy corrupt people. It's that simple. You could offer up Buckingham palace on a platter and my answer would still be the same. You have proven your worth, or rather lack off worth.

You mean getting Mimo to admit he was wrong? Why is it so hard for him to do that? Why did you support him when you must have known he was wrong. A good frriend would have PMed him and said "hey John, you shouldn't keep going down that path, you are wrong and it will only end in humiliation."

Ignoring John's bellyflop and his desperate efforts to dig his way out of that hole, this pretty much proves that it is not a case of profiteering. The markup is less than 10%. Typical retail markups start at 100%.



it proves no such thing.


So charging the lowest markups of almost any retail industry (even when you do figure out how to use decimal points properly) is actually profiteering?

Pedants? He kept it going with his inability to admit he was wrong. He should have known he was wrong and folded the first time it was pointed out. Pointing out someone is wrong by a factor of 100 is not pedantic, it's the correct thing to do. Mimo should have said "my bad" and avoided humiliation. Not only that you backed him up on his error lumping you in as mathematically challenged as he is. You should have helped your puppy, not agree with him shitting on the carpet.

If he really doesn't understand how decimal points work, someone should explain it to him. It's hard to be a functioning adult in modern society without basic numeracy skills.

Besides, you've proven just how corrupt and untrustworthy you are. I never make any deals with people I don't trust.


Easy to make claims Mimo, put your money where your mouth is. We could use Aussie as the broker. I'll buy everything you have for 1c in the dollar.


Okay...if you are buying it would be my responsibility (as the broker) to ensure you have the cash...even at that rate.

Or...some sense will prevail, and you will get over this crap.  Fancy making an existence out of a decimal point etc. Just so desperate.

Mr Smith's grammar is on the piss weak side...so what?  Can you speak Italian?


You claimed he was right and defended him, you're no better, we better have an accountant in on it too. I have money but at the rate of 1c in the dollar I'd be a fool not to borrow. I could easily take 5 million worth of his property tomorrow, another 5 million in a week and another 5 million in a month.


Gee...great!  Your fortunes have ....... Oops hang on Aussie...that would be revealing stuff from somewhere.

See, we can both play that game Setanta.  It ain't hard.


Is that you trying to use personal information outside the bounds of the forum in a round about way Aussie? What could you mean? I know the mere mention of anything of anything concerning your private life is off limits and ban worthy. I think I should be afforded the same rights and call you out on this post. Do it again and see what happens. That goes for your puppies too.

This post made publicly because Aussie didn't seem to understand the PMs. Perhaps he was playing Koi in the PM exchange, goldfish are not known for their brains.

Ah, bugger it, this is what Aussie is referring to. I'll put it out there so you can see what an arsewipe he is.

We have rented since we sold our property west of Kyogle and moved to Lismore. Being old we cannot get a mortgage. My wife and I both have money in the bank and super, she can't get hers, I can but I pay 15% tax on it. Housing in Lismore is hard to get. It's a small city with a university. The house we lived in and rented was up for sale so had to move. My youngest son bought a house and we live in it and pay it off for him. We paid 30% of the cost of the house up front and now pay it off for him. Family looking after family.

What Aussie and JS are implying is I'm broke and a bum which is not true although I'm certainly not wealthy I can work out decimal places. How JS would know anything about what my financial situation is for you to guess. I think it's obvious Aussie has been talking.

Anyway, what Aussie is implying above, in public, is information I talked to him about in private, nothing to do with the forum. He is now using that info publicly in an underhanded way to try and get at me. So is his puppy JS. I have no problem sharing how things are but it should be me sharing them, not Aussie to have a go at me.

My new car get 7.2 o 7.5 l/ 100 klm

Much better than our old cars.

We estimated saving of around $600 to $1000 a year.

So a few cents here or there don't matter a frig.

Suffer peasants.


I used to drive around a 1983 Daihatsu Handivan. Cost $18 to fill its 20L tank ($0.90/L fuel). Probably cost about $30 to fill, these days. Got around doing deliveries in it and getting paid 4 times the travel reimbursement that I used. Saved up enough money with it to buy a better car that was also fuel efficient.

My recent car can probably get down to Brisbane 650km on a tank of fuel (probably even with the airconditioning going). The one I got in 1998 could probably get me to Brisbane and have a little fuel left over.

Okay.....but why does this mean petrol prices go up?  Are they the only two tankers in the Universe?  What has happened to the oil in them?  They seem to be still floating?  What?

All the other fuel tankers are to frightened to sail through, supply and demand.

They build the tankers a lot better these days, they are all sectioned off so they can be blown in half, still float and not
and not loose to much oil. The torpedo was a warning shot, like one over the bow.


I hate that excuse .... it's used to justify profiteering at someone elses expense or misery.


No it isn't. It needs no excuse at all. It is a good thing. It delivers goods to those who value them most. It means if not enough is being produced, there is an immediate incentive to increase production, without the need to invoke the wheels of bureaucracy.


I knew you'd claim it's not profiteering ... but it is ... and it only takes the slightest excuse.

2 tankers are fargall .... slack can easily be taken up.

It's like the way the price of fuel at the bowser changes hourly ... when some arab farts on an oil rig in Saudi Arabia a barrel of oil goes up a dollar and the price of fuel rises straight away ..... when the price of a barrel drops ... it takes days to be reflected at the bowser if at all.


The increase in price is the mechanism by which the slack is taken up.


;D That a flawed way of taking up the slack.

Oil companies benefiting by something bad happening to a supply chain ... a supply chain where the slack is readily taken up by hiring another ship .... there are plenty.

Ignoring John's bellyflop and his desperate efforts to dig his way out of that hole, this pretty much proves that it is not a case of profiteering. The markup is less than 10%. Typical retail markups start at 100%.



it proves no such thing.


So charging the lowest markups of almost any retail industry (even when you do figure out how to use decimal points properly) is actually profiteering?



so? Not that it matters but the average mark ups across the industry do not prove or disprove profiteering. Perhaps you need to look at the definition of profiteering.

FYI, 20 years ago the industry standard had mark ups on petrol at about one or two cents a litre.

Did they have to pay any extra for the petrol already in their tanks, the petrol they are selling you? NO ... they just put it up because they can ... it's pure profiteering.


I guarantee you that your local servo did not buy the petrol for $1.40.



It was an example fd, not scripture.

Over the last few pages you have gone to some lengths to defend the indefensible. Smith is wrong. If he had used .10$ instead of .10c or even how we actually write it 10c, he would be right, even his own pic torpedoed him yet you cling on to defend the dimwit. At the same time he has called anyone who disagreed with him an idiot or some other derogatory name. There are only two idiots here it seems, you and Smith.

Okay.....but why does this mean petrol prices go up?  Are they the only two tankers in the Universe?  What has happened to the oil in them?  They seem to be still floating?  What?

All the other fuel tankers are to frightened to sail through, supply and demand.

They build the tankers a lot better these days, they are all sectioned off so they can be blown in half, still float and not
and not loose to much oil. The torpedo was a warning shot, like one over the bow.


I hate that excuse .... it's used to justify profiteering at someone elses expense or misery.


No it isn't. It needs no excuse at all. It is a good thing. It delivers goods to those who value them most. It means if not enough is being produced, there is an immediate incentive to increase production, without the need to invoke the wheels of bureaucracy.


I knew you'd claim it's not profiteering ... but it is ... and it only takes the slightest excuse.

2 tankers are fargall .... slack can easily be taken up.

It's like the way the price of fuel at the bowser changes hourly ... when some arab farts on an oil rig in Saudi Arabia a barrel of oil goes up a dollar and the price of fuel rises straight away ..... when the price of a barrel drops ... it takes days to be reflected at the bowser if at all.


The increase in price is the mechanism by which the slack is taken up.


;D That a flawed way of taking up the slack.

Oil companies benefiting by something bad happening to a supply chain ... a supply chain where the slack is readily taken up by hiring another ship .... there are plenty.


I don't think having your oil tankers blown up is something good.

Ignoring John's bellyflop and his desperate efforts to dig his way out of that hole, this pretty much proves that it is not a case of profiteering. The markup is less than 10%. Typical retail markups start at 100%.



it proves no such thing.


So charging the lowest markups of almost any retail industry (even when you do figure out how to use decimal points properly) is actually profiteering?



so? Not that it matters but the average mark ups across the industry do not prove or disprove profiteering. Perhaps you need to look at the definition of profiteering.

FYI, 20 years ago the industry standard had mark ups on petrol at about one or two cents a litre.


Was that about 10%?

no, i am arguing that petrol stations use the excuse to profiteer.

tell me, why does the local servo, who bought the petrol in their holding tanks last week at $1.40, suddenly put up the price on that petrol by .05 or .10c because the hong kong price went up today? Did they have to pay any extra for the petrol already in their tanks, the petrol they are selling you? NO ... they just put it up because they can ... it's pure profiteering.


I guarantee you that your local servo did not buy the petrol for $1.40.



It was an example fd, not scripture.

Average margins on petrol these days is about .10c a litre.


Crap.


you always accuse people of lying when you don't like the numbers FD?

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-09-01/retailers-reaping-record-margins-at-the-fuel-pump/8862268


That's 10c, not 0.1c



you've just put up the same number, you've just expressed it differently ;D ;D ;D

ten cents is .10c, one cent is .01c

you claim to have a uni degree right?  ;D ;D ;D ;D


So you think 10c = 0.1c?


He didn't type 0.1 cents

he typed 0.10 representing 10 cents - 1/10 of a dollar.

Right up until he said it was 10c, not 0.1c. I actually thought he meant what he said at first.

Oil and insurance companies are like countries in the use of intelligence. If there is a threat on a route especially in sensitive waters, tankers are diverted, slowed down, insurance rates are adjusted, some companies will refuse to use that route and contract small print is magnified. The arms of world leaders are bent, everywhere goes the call, send for lawyers ( obviously not Aussie :), he doesn’t know what the hell is going on) guns and money. None of this is cheap.

Moreover all the worlds oil is engaged in a complex dance of purchase types and with interest rates and fees attached, anything that changes deliveries ripples through the net of countries and companies competing to sell and countries and companies trying to secure years into the  future.

Okay.....but why does this mean petrol prices go up?  Are they the only two tankers in the Universe?  What has happened to the oil in them?  They seem to be still floating?  What?

All the other fuel tankers are to frightened to sail through, supply and demand.

They build the tankers a lot better these days, they are all sectioned off so they can be blown in half, still float and not
and not loose to much oil. The torpedo was a warning shot, like one over the bow.


I hate that excuse .... it's used to justify profiteering at someone elses expense or misery.


No it isn't. It needs no excuse at all. It is a good thing. It delivers goods to those who value them most. It means if not enough is being produced, there is an immediate incentive to increase production, without the need to invoke the wheels of bureaucracy.


I knew you'd claim it's not profiteering ... but it is ... and it only takes the slightest excuse.

2 tankers are fargall .... slack can easily be taken up.

It's like the way the price of fuel at the bowser changes hourly ... when some arab farts on an oil rig in Saudi Arabia a barrel of oil goes up a dollar and the price of fuel rises straight away ..... when the price of a barrel drops ... it takes days to be reflected at the bowser if at all.


The increase in price is the mechanism by which the slack is taken up.


;D That a flawed way of taking up the slack.

Oil companies benefiting by something bad happening to a supply chain ... a supply chain where the slack is readily taken up by hiring another ship .... there are plenty.


I don't think having your oil tankers blown up is something good.


It's not .... but jamming up prices instantly at the bowser isn't good or the answer either.

Oil wells weren't blown up. Ships were ... trucks of the sea .... they can easily be replaced with minimal disruption to oil supply.

Your logic would suggest that if there were 2 truck crashes in Australia it would be fair to increase the cost of freight across the board nationally. ::)

It's out & out profiteering or price gouging or whatever other adjective that can be used for "RIPPING OFF".

yet  all this oil pouring into the sea...

did you see that black cloud...omg...

and not a word from any environmentalists

I bet if it was Amerika who fired the rocket  they would all be screaming...


the thing about putting the price up..

it can also be a means of saving petrol.....

a lot of people balk at paying extra and some even leave the car at home.......therefore instead of PANIC

where people actually try to store their own petrol supply... ::) ::) ::)

and yes people do PANIC when it comes to a threat of a shortage.

Why do people get so emotional about petrol prices, but happily get ripped off on most other products?

No cods...in Qld, taxi fares are set by Government.  That's why they insist we have meters.

Perhaps that is why you were attracted to that industry Aussie. No need to think about these things.

You are 100% accurate.  It was a heavily regulated Government created and controlled monopoly....until Uber....and now we are suing the Qld Government for our losses.

By charging the lowest retail margins?


again, you're confusing yourself. Average margins do not show if there is any profiteering

regulated I can understand   but the fare... how does that work when petrol goes up???...do you lose out?

or do you get discounted petrol?..


Title: Re: Oil tankers attacked.
Post by Aussie on Jun 16th, 2019 at 6:24pm
The fare stays the same.....no matter what the fuel price is from time to time.  And no.....we get zero discount beyond what you can get.

Because... it costs people $50 a week in fuel costs on average to drive their car around towns and cities to conduct their businesses and social events. I won't drive my car any more than I need. But, modest use of the car will lead me to a $20 a week fuel costs.

$1000 to $3000 a year in fuel costs is quite a lot of money for people under $60,000/year earning. I would be complaining too, if oil prices were low and petrol prices high.

I expect most people would pay more for groceries, more for housing, more even for other car expenses, and tolerate far higher markups on all of them. But they choose to get emotional about petrol. The only other thing that even comes close is milk, and that has a publicity campaign behind it.

The perception about oil is that we are at the mercy of Middle Eastern societies wanting to fund their religious wars from oil revenue. Otherwise, motorists complain that petrol is overvalued when oil prices are low.

People have been paying $1/L for milk for a while. Customers have said that they would pay $1.25/L for milk -- provided that the dairy farmers get the $0.25/L increase in price directly.

I would budget to get my groceries for $50 a fortnight, and bread and milk bought every time I run out. These days, I would not be bothered paying $200 a fortnight in groceries for everything to last 2 weeks. But, I would scale back the spending, if things don't go well for me over the next 3 months.

Last year, we had protests about petrol prices. People were calling on other motorists not to buy petrol on a certain day of the year. However, no one was calling for a scaling back of car usage. Until we start getting realistic about supply and demand, oil and petrol companies are just going to keep petrol prices high.

I'll add my $0.10.  ;D

Just fill the tank and drive off. Happens everywhere. Cops can't keep up with the offences.

Except many service stations have video cameras to record you and your act. I drove off after filling up my car, accidentally forgetting to pay for my fuel. The police were around at my place within half an hour of me getting home. The attendant of the service station said that no charges would be made against me if I just came back and paid.

When something we buy makes us feel good, we are happy to pay for it often. But, we don't like it when the price goes up. The price of eggs appreciating will lead to people grumbling.

The price of alcohol went up due to the tax increase, 15 years ago. That was enough for me to cut back on a weekly drinking session. And there is a scheduled increase in alcohol for the year 2020. People will be grumbling again about the price increase.

Smokers and boozers are going to complain about price increases to whatever makes them feel better about themselves.

They have a high volume product ... so their margins need to be smaller. A lot of people have cars.

Tell me why diesel ... a much less refined fuel than petrol ... basically still an oil ... is up to 10c a litre dearer than unleaded?

And if it was such a high risk volatile business ..... how come they're so filthy rich and enough is never enough?

Greed.
