Fuel Prices

I encountered the anti-siphon on the weekend on a ‘91 Saab 900, I need to empty the plastic tank to drop it and find a leak and my el cheapo siphon pump kept jamming in the inlet.

Did you get it done before the owner came back?

In the local area the daily fuel price increases looks like it's going to have a considerable affect on the sugar crushing season and likely push up ethanol prices. Some of the smaller farms are looking to leave cane in the ground as cutting and transport costs are going to make this years harvest close to unviable for some farms.

My wife is on a caravan FB group. Several people are heading home from their dream lap.

If the reports of the leaked plans of Australian government are true some employers are going to have to deal with inconsistent staff numbers in areas with poor public transport. They're considering a $40 cap on fuel purchases.

Wow Tassie is better prepared than our entire country where apparently we have only 49 days in reserve!
Situation seriously exposing the previous government’s idiotic closure of our sole refinery!
Green influenced morons

Politicians have been waging a war against fossil fuels for decades, now we are paying the price.

Like banning or restricting exploration, selling off fuel reserves, closing 6 refineries in Australia and the remaining two are on life support. Placing an excise then a GST on top of that on every litre of fuel. The government makes the most money for every litre of fuel sold - more than the driller, refiner and servo.

Competent governments have infrastructure and reserves to deal with supply issues.

Each time the fuel price goes up our government amplifies the price rise with its excise and GST. Then these hypocrites allege price gouging. The biggest price gouger from motorist’s pockets is the government.

I have been warning people of the Net Zero BS for a decade.

I feel better now.
