Heads up.

USA uses PON to measure octane rating, Australia use RON.

Source: Fuel ratings, RON, MON or PON? As you can see American #87 is actually Australian #91 rated.

At the moment due to Christmas rip off by oil companies we are paying around $1.25 91 octane, $1.35 a litre for 95 octane and $1.42 for 97 octane.

Yes,LPG, but for a by product,Which they produce so much of it they burn what they cant store or sell,It still very dear but it presents as a cheap alternative,Until we all change over then look out!

Happy Neww Year to you all.

Just got back from the wet and grey UK.
Visited the rel's in Shropshire.

95 was ?1.01 a litre = $2.00 = $2.28 Au = ?1.37

95 is ?1.35 here in Portugal, only @ 2 pence cheaper than the UK.

Diesel here is @25 cents a litre cheaper than petrol, so still well worth owning a diesel.

It's terrible mate!!!

Diesel USED to be cheaper here.
Now the same or even MORE!!!
What a croc

Eric Frei

That's right mate, and then when lots of people bought diesel 4wd's etc it went up!

Was always atleast 10cents/litre cheaper than unleaded.

its only gonna go up higher for one reason.
Most of the oil to make gas and diessel is in the middle east and who are us americans at war with?part of the middle east so what do they do raise the oil prices in hope we will leave.You can't tell me that the terrorists don't get a cut from that.

Wonder if we can get a government rebate if we convert the chipper to LPG!

bigshea13

thats a misconception. theres tons of oil in canada and alaska but noone wants to touch it. oil is easy to come by. its the refineries {or lack thereof}that drive the prices up. hybrid/electric vehicals seem to be the best idea at the moment. you cant expect the world to change overnight but it can begin gearing up for future. some of those vehicals are getting 90 mile/gal+ with the aid of the electrical components that charge as the vehical is moving. the vehicals shut off when stopped, just like golf carts. many places offer tax breaks for those owning them.
someone needs to get back to work on that teleporter

Eric Frei

There's certainly something going on. It's no shortage but oil is $100USD a barrel.

if you want a better understanding of the behind the scenes crap that goes on google haliberton, dick cheney, george bush, oil.
theyd love us to believe theres a shortage. the men{not just the ones mentioned} have enormous amounts of wealth and power. to keep the power they need to keep the wealth. we need a revoltion to clean house in this country. our"elected" officials do not portray the views of most americans. they are blinded by greed. we ve had father and son presidents and now we going for the husband wife team. seems to me it being kept in the family. even if the popular masses elect a candidate theres no certainty that they will take office.

this is crap anyway. there are several alternative out there but the cash hogs stand to loose far to much. the cycle will continue until we wake up and take action, removing these worthless pigs from power.

Sean Freeman

Definately speculators trying (and succeeding) to make money on the predicted demand being generated in China.

Eric Frei

Yeah, what's with that family combo thing anyway, it's like the English Monarchy then however they're just figureheads who don't govern.

Even when I was a kid in school we discussed oil running out, and not a lot has changed since then.

Hypothetical situation.

Here's the problem and lets use Bio Diesel#2 as the new fuel.

Oil company XYZ makes $46 billionUSD profit but then switches to Bio Diesel#2 which is a totally engineered product and does not rely on any oil at all. The company will still want to make maybe $50billionUSD the next financial year coz you know, all that BS about share holders etc.

So to do so the price doesn't change much, the only "savings" to be made are the cost of raw product and refining however the new product also requires "refining" in a different sense and the raw material still has to be acquired and freighted.

There wont be any real significant savings at all. The substitution to engineered resources from natural resources wont provide much savings at all ... in fact it could increase the cost as the existing infrastructure would have to perhaps be re-engineered.

This wiki page has more on bio diesel but you can see not much savings, never will be as long as huge profits and exuberant executive salaries have to be paid.

Biodiesel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On a similar note here, the NAB decided to raise interest rates on mortgages even though there was no official rate rise by the reserve bank. This pissed off the new govt bad, and typically never happened to the old govt. The reason was they owed it to the shareholders to make more profit.

I make my own beer in a micro brewery. It goes through pretty much the same processes as commercial beer but without the overheads etc and I get better and cheaper beer. The true solution to this is like what happened to Microsoft. These empires need to be broken down, a new style of corporation that is not profit driven has to evolve like a co-operative or community bank.

I've never done it, but from what i've read it seems simple enough, Your suposed to declare it and pay 30 cents for every litre produced, be it soap glunk or fuel....Just google it and start reading....good luck
