I wouldn't complain. It's still not that hard to keep a Jazz on the road with fuel in it. Try driving even a Civic or Accord.

Aren't we lucky to have a Jazz. My other car is doing nearly double of the Jazz  Funny enough, someone was saying in the MX newspaper today that the petrol price wasn't affected in Europe. I remains the same for the past month...  While i was doing my work experience in a financial firm, its boss once told me some of his insight. From his point of view, the petrol price should NOT reach such high level. All the reason u heard about china and rest were not really the thing contribute to the high petrol price. The one thing is that Australian government use petrol price to control the inflation and the debt level...believe or not....personally i reckon it make some sense.... |

Australian petrol prices are set in line with world prices even though Australia is basicly self sufficient in petrolium production. Reality is Australian production prices don't change but the oil companies profits do when the world price rises.
Prices wouldn't be an issue if the State and Federal govs weren't robbing us blind with taxes on taxes. Just look at the difference in Queensland where the state gov doesn't have its hand out. And the states proportion of tax is nothing compared to the feds cut. GST is levied on the retail price so is a tax on the taxes in the price. Higher the price the more revenue. Governments loving the higher prices.
Would be nice if any of that revenue actually went back into the roads but hey you make more revenue if you blame the road toll entirely on speeding and tax that as well.
This means the government makes blood money from preventable road deaths. Remember to die to make the government even more money because then they get death taxes. Then they get even more tax revenue on the sale of your property.
The money to pay the prime ministers $300,000 annual salary and the NSW premiers $275,000 salary has to come from somewhere. The other state premiers aren't quite as greedy.

The tax on a tax point has been raised a while ago.. nothing new and something Howard and his merry men are not going to take off as it seems...

Today is about the cheapest in its cycle... 112.9 for ULP. I can handle PULP to be about 115.9... so that means about 104.9 for ULP... I wish.
