Many people commute for an hour or more just to work. This rise in price with no end in sight and no explanation as the oil companies rake in record profits quarter after quarter is getting us pissed off! |

If anyone can remember which gas stations are owned by Venezuela, please post it here. It'll be worth the trip to find a relatively local service station because I'm NOT going to buy from Exxon, Mobil, or any other big US company. They can kiss my |

Oil companys make .10 per gallon of fuel.. guess where the other part of the 3.25 per gallon goes? The tax and spenders in DC and your state... prove me wrong I DARE you. |

Ashchaya User ID: 74543 Australia 04/18/2006 11:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know there's 3.7854 litres to a US gallon, but what's the current exchange rate for converting US dollars to Australian? Anyone? Here's a link to the average price for unleaded in Shell stations in Sydney NSW Australia: [link to www.shell.com.au] AUD$1.29 per litre right now. So that's AUD$4.88 per US gallon. Just remains to be seen what AUD$4.88 is in US dollars. If you spell "old school" with a "k", you are not old school. |
Gypsy User ID: 15490 Australia 04/19/2006 12:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you pay for medical insurance, college, etc., as we do? Yup on both counts. What do you get for your $6 a gallon other than gas? NO personal service in most places - we pump the petrol, check tyres, wash windscreens ourselves in the majority of 'service' stations. As to apples and oranges 74140 I imagine you are referring to wages and distances. Check Oz for both! Ashchaya - yes, Sydney prices are 'cheaper'... I'm in the back blocks of Oz and petrol tankers have to travel great distances to our stations.... freight charges make EVERYTHING so much more expensive. Ah, the price we pay for living in Paradise. |

Gypsy User ID: 15490 Australia 04/19/2006 02:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yup... and this just to hand [link to www.smh.com.au] I'm in a drought affected area so paradise is very dry. Buying practices have changed already to the most prudent and frugal. |
Ashchaya User ID: 74543 Australia 04/19/2006 03:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Gypsy - Yep. I like the point the article makes about people who are just waiting it out and hoping for it to go back to "normal". It will never go down. I think it'll really open people's eyes when it hits the $2/L mark. That's a real psychological milestone too. If you spell "old school" with a "k", you are not old school. |

I can still afford it, but if it gets to a certain point I'll have to sell my car and get an econobox...or maybe a motorcycle |
