The Hilux is leased and gets replaced every 12 mths (120,000kms) so it never gets to the billowing smoke stage, well, while I have it anyway  Tongue

Crikey I was paying around $2 a litre (and more) for fuel in some areas of central oz at christmas.

Yeah, but do you think that adding $40.00 per ton to the cost of petrol 'won't' take the price above $8 or $10 dollars????

Given that the price is close to $2 a litre NOW???

Fuel prices will only ever go as high as the economy can stand.
No one is going to crash the economy over a carbon tax and the further it is spread (like the gst) the lesser the burden on individual sectors of the economy.
In my defence I have always said on this forum (and yahoo) that petrol is way to cheap for a finite, dirty, polluting fuel.
One of my passions is, why are we wasting resources like there will never be future generations?
Being in my 50's I see my grandkids and their grandkids as worthy of a clean planet with abundant resourses, as we are, and as our grandparents were.
All this complaining about a few dollars here and there when as far as history goes we are the most economically wealthiest people that ever trod on this planet as selfish and shortsighted.

Yeah, right....When I first started work, it cost about 0.60c per litre for petrol...It's more than doubled in 30 years.....just by inflation and the GST....add a Carbon Tax of an equal amount to inflation AND GST...and what will happen???

hint: Doubled AGAIN....

Crikey when I first started working it was under 10c a litre..a few yrs later Mal Fraser then decided to peg it to the Singapore price to encourage investment in the industry and it almost doubled overnight!
You can imagine all the cries that the world was coming to an end and guess what...things went on as normal  Smiley

$40.00 per ton of what? fuel or emissions?

If it's a ton of petrol then that's around 1350 litres or about $0.03 per litre.

If it's a ton of emissions then it's a tiny fraction of those 3 cents.

So where does the $8 or $10 cost come from?
