Gee, Im glad Im retired.

Id hate to try and find 2 tanks of fuel every week just to get to work, like I used to.

But its playing havoc with my caravanning.

I have had to postpone one trip so far and next month isnt looking all that great either.

All because we have the worlds most stupid, corrupt and greedy grubberment on earth.

There is no "Brisbane price" for petrol. Look around.

It was an average of all the servos displaying prices on Petrol Spy.

So I did have a look around.

I wasn't posting the price at every damned servo. Roll Eyes

https://petrolspy.com.au/map/latlng/-27.4710107/153.0234489

You don't pay the average Brisbane price, any more than you pay the average state price. You pay the actual price at the servo where you fill up, and if the price bothers you, it is a very simple matter to fill up when you pass a cheap one. If you shop around, you would probably end up paying less in Brisbane.

Pedant. You don't drive around all day wasting more fuel looking for a servo that is 1 or 2 cents a litre cheaper.

They are all simialr price & at the moment it's outright profiteering.

Who would have ever guessed that the incompetant bloated Orange manic would push Australian petrol prices towards $3 per litre. I honestly didn't see this one comming.

It's less than $1 a litre in the US, you need to look closer to home to see why you are paying $3 a litre.

Fuel excise,
GST,
weak Aussie dollar.

And still around $1.80 before Trumps stupidity. Its a different problem. Or a different excuse ?

Iran has nothing to do with Australia having no fuel reserves, refining it's own oil and using it domestically & not exporting it.

We have hardly any oil in Australia - you silly Billy.

Australia holds approximately 1.8 to 2.5 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, enough for about 4 years of domestic consumption plus oil shale.
Are you stupid to think that the Hormuz will be closed that long?

The infrastructure to use shale oil would take 5 to 10 years to make
and cost $billions. Roll Eyes

Coming from you that's a tad rich. Roll Eyes

We have enough oil for own needs - if we used it.

We need to build another refinery & start doing exactly that.

Don't even go there - it's a filthy process and requires shyte loads of energy making it too expensive.

That's why every proposed shale oil project has been canned.

Nope. Only in Victoria. USA, and others not holding to the Net Zero mantra are doing fracking well. There was one place blamed fracking for water contamination in Australia. The CSIRO debunked that claim.

Although the alarmists have said that they have links to fossil fuel.
