You you ever think they start the rumour mill running so when it does rise you don't complain? If fuel gets that high? Quite a few road users will have something to say about it.

To many rumours which the fuel co's are taking advantage of the user by instantly increasing price when the supply isn't interupted. Something fishy going on here. It's probably why we don't get first priority on the oil we mine. Once it's out of the coutry we have no control of the price. We'd have more control if it was an Australian run enterprise.

My local garbage people are going on strike as they are already $12,000-$16,000 a year down due to fuel price hikes.

My job involves quite a bit of traveling too. We have around 150 worksites. Which one you work at isn't your choice. One minute you work local to home and the next your working 100k's away.
