Petrol price to jump in the weeks ahead

http://www.news.com.au/money/money-matters/bad-week-ahead-for-motorists/story-e6frfmd9-1225814525795

MOTORISTS are set for a bad start to the new year with petrol prices expected to
jump by three to five cents per litre over coming weeks.

Asian crude oil prices have hit 14-month highs, an indication Australians will
soon have to fork out a bit more at the bowser, Commsec economist Craig James said.

The wholesale petrol price averaged 113.1 cents a litre in the week ending
Christmas Day, but it has been rising steadily over the past week.

Today the wholesale price stood at a 15-week high of 114.5 cents a litre.

It's all bad news for motorists, Mr James said.

"Holidaymakers that set off on driving holidays ahead of Christmas may find
their return journeys will be a tad more expensive.

"But the good news for motorists is that the Aussie dollar has risen sharply
over the past 14 months.

"(Otherwise) motorists would now be paying on average around $1.50 a litre
rather than $1.20 a litre."

The record crude oil prices are likely to add an extra three to five cents per
litre, Mr James estimated.

If only the traitorous rat Menzies hadn't sold COR to the Iranians it
might be a different story today!

 

Went for a ride to Albury yesterday and in my little village which is not in
the mainstream traffic line, premium was 123.9c per litre
got on the freeway and Glenrowan was it was 137.9c for unleaded

At 14 cents a litre dearer on the freeway where there is no chance of
competition
they know that you have to fill up there or run out
BP certainly stands for
Bloody Pommies or Bastard Politicians

Who said Ned Kelly was dead ???

 

bugger, made a blue

 

When KRudd tells you to jump, you are expected to reply "How high?".

Who cares about fuel consumption when you own a Prius,

all you have to worry about is looking like a complete tool instead! Its like a Camry for nerds.

 

I can't really see the sense in buying a Prius or any other "environmental"
car as when you get on the open road,
they cost as much or even more than the normal family sedan to run, besides,
they also cost about $10,000 more to buy for something with half the power.
Wonder what the repair bills would be like in comparison?

 

I hired one once.
Fuel consumption stayed about the same (low) in both city and highway
driving. I wouldn't think the total ownership cost would be much
different from a "normal" car - maybe a tad lower overall. I found the
Prius to be quite nippy on the road. As to repair bills, batteries
excepted I can't see why these would be higher than normal either. The
hybrid system is actually quite simple, compared to a "normal"
automatic transmission.
My biggest gripe was the shape and the high rear window. Rear vision
was abysmal, and there is no excuse for that.

 

I needed to hire a car a few weeks back and just wanted a little
shitbox to get some gear and move it around Melbs. They upgraded me
for free to a Prius. It surprised me actually. Didn't mind it at all,
especially as I was just running around the city.

The best thing I found was that I'd gone to a friend's place and had a
few too many beers. They were all going into CBD to a club and I
couldn't be arsed so told them I'd head home. I don't tend to show
that I am drunk so no-one pulled me up on it. The car was parked a few
houses down the street. I was not going to drive, but hadn't planned
on not going home. No sleeping bag or anything. Solution: get in car
turn on engine, turn on aircon to a comfortable temperature and go to
sleep. From what I could tell the engine fired up for a few minutes
every hour to keep the batteries powered to keep aircon going.

Woke up next morning and drove home.

Yes I know, technically I could have been booked for being in the car
with the keys and stuff. But I figured it was better than driving
pissed and it was fairly quiet backstreet area in Northcote.

So they do have their uses as camping vehicles.

 

I think you may get booked if you got a bastard copper,
but, technically, if you put the keys in the glove box, you are not in
possession.
If you have them in your pocket, then stiff shit, suffer the consequences

Back streets of Northcote are fairly quiet and you should be safe in any of
them
If you wanted to be safer, then you park the car half on the nature strip,
makes it look like a locals car spot.

Just don't try parking in any of the car parks or football grounds
might wake up with your wheels missing

 

Who gives a **** what you think? What do you drive you bogan twat?

 

What utter tripe!! Where do you get your shit from?
Service costs are equal to any family car. Dont buy new and you save that 10
grand anyway. I bet you havent even driven one but you're the expert huh?
pfftttt...

 

The real world most likely.....

Pffft indeed.

You claim to have two of the fucking ugly things, yet you're so far removed
from reality you might as well have never been near one. I'd make a pretty
large bet that the only car you own is an old Magna

 

No fuckwit..I just love to stir up shit like you right? Keep driving your
luddite POS .. Ugly is what you see when you have a shave fucker..

 

Does McDonalds have an active RSI policy? I imagine flipping burgers all day
must make your wrists a tad on the sore side.

 

Not picking on one model as the Prius Nev as picking on a theory,
just trying to debunk their theory that it is a green environmental car and
more economically feasible than most others
It costs more to buy and is no good for long country runs
If it was as economical as they say, then why aren't there more Prius taxis?
I have seen "some" Prius taxis,

but they have been out for 13 years now
and if they are as goods as they say,
then there has been enough time for evaluation for them to be bought by taxi
owners
where the owners are out to get as much economy out of their cars as
possible

 

You obviously have no expertise at all in that area Nev
ask a copper

Another load of bullshit from Nev
Are you trying to tell us that the coppers are idiots?

They wouldn't even be bothered continuing after being told that the driver
had 6 stubbies after arriving home
They would then take a breath test, maybe followed by a blood test, then it
goes to the senior sergeant on duty and he would then sum up the situation

Then again, you claimed the driver had consumed 6 stubbies while sitting on
the passenger seat
presumably while talking to the other driver ??

Come on Nev
This is 2010
time for you to wake up
