I questioned the console operator at our local Servo last week as to why fuel jumped from $1.30cpl in Salisbury to $1.45 in Smithfield, a distance of 15k's.
She said it was a joke and that even the truck driver who had delivered the fuel the previous Sunday said he wouldn't pay over $1.30 for it. She told me she had filled her car at $1.29 the night before and openly admitted she wouldn't buy fuel from her employer as they were gouging. |

Remember 100 years ago when fuel was going to reach $2/L by Christmas?
I've heard that every year since 2000 BC |

Filled up with 98 (although, their computers still say P100 on the docket) at United today for 142.7 c/L. Last time I filled up it was 155.9 c/L for P100 on 6/12/14. - No more 100 here either unfortunately.
Still at BP it was 149.9 c/L. I imagine it would be the same (or very similar) price at Shell. Pity about the P100 though. Comparing it to V-Power I actually got more to a tank and maybe (could of just been placebo) slightly more performance and smoother response. |

I learnt about peak oil during an economics degree in 1990 went back in 2001 and the lecturers went on and on about peak oil and I bet there's no chance those academics would concede peak oil is another failed theory a bit like...so good to see BP Ultimate so low
