Fuel Price

[-spiro-]

Snappa anything is possible, its just how much i push them for the day off!
Does anybody else have trouble with woolies fuel, my 4wd hates it for some reason.

Spiro,
Your 4wd is petrol, is it?
I'm guessing woolies fuel is probably cut with ethanol.

Woolies and coles are both in conjunction with MAJOR oil companies. They absorb the price reduction on fuel by making major markup on the groceries people buy to get the "4cpl" off the petrol prices

[basserman]

deso is around $1.15/l while ulp is about $1.10

what are we going to do when it is $1.20 or even the predicted $2 within the next two years!
here my age i can remeber when you used to by leaded at 34c/L and gass was around 12c/L
sure doesn't feel like my wages went up when the fule and other costs did!

Worrying Times! About time some serious money was spent to find/research a very viable alternative energy source! About time one was found that would be worth while. They can forget hydrogen fuels unless they can produce hydrogen gas with next to no energy cost. If they can figure out a good one, be pretty sure it would be a lot cheaper than hydrocarbon fuels to run an electric car. I always thought solar was good, but a bit expensive + unreliable.

About time somehting was done. What's going to happen to the earth when all the oil is used up? What happens to a timber table when the oil isn't kept up?

[basserman]

well i know that their is a substuable deso flue that is a vegitable based oil insted of minral based oil
from what i'v heard it is cleaner to make and even burns cleaner!
big question is why isn't their more resurch into something like this!

Geez Bignick,

I bet u slow up the line at Alex Hills, that's a bugger of a place to get in & out of, especially with a boat in tow.

BTW, most Woolies sites are supplied by Caltex, as Coles are supplied by Shell.

still don't understand why deiso is more expensive than unleaded......and on parr with premium unleaded....

[bignick]

There are no fuel alternatives available simply because, if there were, there would be less money for greedy governments and oil companies, and we can't have that now. can we? Remember not too long ago the gentleman who had a steam-powered car. The squash was put well and truely on him because the concept could not be allowed to take off. Could you imagine the government outcry if people could get fuel for their car simply by turning on their garden tap; or worse still collecting car fuel in buckets and tanks as the rain fell. It would be enough to make a caring politician choke on his Dom Perignon and throw himself out the window of his ivory tower. It really is drawing a long bow for a politician to say he is in touch with "ordinary Australians" when he hasn't paid for a litre of petrol out of his own pocket for God knows how long.

Cheers,
BIGNICK.

P.S. Hey, Tony. Don't take the boat into Woolies at Alex Hills. Could never get in or out. Only do the cars and the drums there. Would be interesting to try, though. Caused enough comotion when I had to take the boat into Transport Department at Cleveland. They made me do it.

[skippa]

Yeah Bignick ur right,

Cleveland transport isn't easy either, I had a simular problem there a few years ago too. Must be a fair size rig u have 'eh.
