Well here we go, Qld paying the full price...

[shamuss01]

I dont know about anyone else, or the rest of OZ! but i liked the idea of not paying the full cost for fuel... Well its just another way that big brother can get your hard cash....SHAME!!!! not to mention hitting us again for rego's and v8s.... :

[DJM83]

IMO they put the price up last week to make some extra coin. Yeah V8 owners are really getting bent over and moreso if you have a V8 ute

[sgt_doofey]

Welcome to the rest of the country.

you called...... :


fueled up today and old mate tells me last night he pulled about 13k for the night and he usually only does about 5k, apparently everyone was lined out onto the street last night trying to get in before the price went up. But seeing as though I see him a couple times a week to fill up he told me to come in this arvo as they werent putting the price up the same day as everyone else so that was my last cheapish fill :(

GOLD!!!

[Macca23]

So how much has it gone up too?
I'm moving this weekend to QLD : When I was there 2 weeks ago I enjoyed $1.02 as opposed to the $1.32 I pay here.

[DJM83]

I paid 134.9 for BP Ultimate today Hayden, and Tues Arvo/Wed morn is seen as the 'low point' in the price cycle.

You read my mind mate

Queensland has finally caught up to the rest of Australia with rego and fuel costs.
Now you all jsut need to embrace daylight saving and the customs clearance to enter and leave can be lifted. It will then just be travelling to another state not another country!

[ieatsports_cars]

well it is all right for some of you guys to say that because our wages are still below par compared to nsw and sa ! every thing in qld is going up and up and our wages is going down go figure

Agreed. Mine's lucky to get out on the road once a month.........
At least I'll save more on fuel if I don't drive it as much.

yet the strange thing is that the southeners move up here in droves, maybe this will slow the move.... :

[XRSIKS]

Harden up, your cost of living is still less :P just petrol... wait till the rest goes op.


Did shopping a week befor last time i went to qld..... $180 for 2 weeks groceries..... did the same shop in qld, cost me $110 for the same products :P

hrm 1k odd to reg a v8 ute in Qld opposed to 400 odd in vic.

[El Venom]

I dont see there will be a problem. give it a couple of weeks and you wont actually see the difference. I paid more for e10 yesterday then i did today for normal unleaded at the same servo

[MrXr6Tickford]

Chin up... everyone else still pays full price.. :jab:

[burnz]

i'v missed something, whats the go with the ute rego you bloke's are on about??

[dallasv8]

128.9 for standard unleaded in Ayr i think Townsville is 1c cheaper

and MAV50L theres no chance we will take on daylight savings up north, its ridiculous up here.

[dallasv8]

our RTV 6 and EF fairmont 6 are nearly 700 bucks for rego.

missus xr in victoria was around $430-450 i'll try to find the renewal form when i get home from work, either way QLD rego prices are ridiculous. fuel im not so fussed about, as next week ill have a fuel card.

Country Vic is about $100 cheaper than metro and surrounding suburbs. I pay about $560 for metro Vic for my XR.

[WOTDAH]

Buy a house in Vic and see what stamp duty you pay compared to the reat of Oz.:

[Macca23]

But doesn't QLD rego include CTP Insurance in those $$$ your quoting? If so it is not all that much different to NSW.

[DJM83]

Yes Hayden it does heres the break up for 12mths T2 TE50 V8
CTP Insurance- 326.00
Registration fee- 470.35
Traffic improvement fee- 44.45
Grand total- 840.80
Anyway back to the fuel thread
