Diesel Prices today wtf??? 30c dearer than regular ULP

[STV4SYT]

Just noticed this morning on the way into work, Todd Rd Servo, which is usually the cheapest around here 139.9 for ULP and 169.9 for Diesel. thats over $90 to fill it up!!!

Time the ACCC upped their act.

Follow the link to lodge a complaint and hopefully get something done about this gouging as they call it.

it really is absolute BS.
8 months ago Diesel was around + or minus 5c.
Now its 25c to 30c dearer.

I have followed the link to the toothless tiger who watches and does nothing, fo what its worth.

Yep, ive been driving diesels in this country for about 3 years, and all along the diesel has been around and about the same as ULP, it has historically stayed pretty static with none of the weekly cycles just increasing as the median ULP increases and falling again when ULP falls. It has stopped falling.

What really surprises me is that there isnt more shouting coming from the transport industry.

Its got to be hurting them a lot more than it's hurting us.

Might I suggest you petrol lovers complain as well.
Its Diesel trucks that deliver your cars, fuel and groceries.
The increase on everything is being blamed on higher transport costs and thats
because of the increase of diesel costs.

When crude oil comes into a refinery the refining process commences and the crude oil gets converted to useable fuel. The first stage of the process is that diesel is made. Then that is refined further to make petrol and other things. So it's not the refining process that is costing more !!!

Fair enough, but this is like paying a premium for a 2008 wine, vs something 10 years old. It's bullocks all round. I too followed the link, and all i can say is shop off the beaten track, I have found diesel even at BP 10 cents a litre cheaper in out of the way suburbs compared to the main road BP's on the same day. I am filling when I see a price rather than the car letting me know!

I paid 164.9 last Friday after searching the WA fuelwatch website (soon to be implemented nationally). I refused to pay 179.9 (until I'm forced to) that I saw when going to fill up at BP.

But at less than 10c per klm, the Jetta is still cheaper to drive per klm than a petrol Corolla.

Not to mention much more fun too!

i cant believe the Aussi government isnt cracking down on this!
as has been said before all our transport industry is reliant on diesel, and its the cheapest to produce!

i think the oil complanies are just taking advantage of the fact that diesel passenger cars are becoming more popular
