Title: Petrol - How much do you pay?
Post by: MidoriHaze on August 16, 2005, 01:11:53 AM
Supposedly price per fuel barrel is at an all time high, so i was just wondering how is it effecting your country's prices? See whose expensive, whose not, etc

In Australia a majority of the states (except QLD) are paying around $1.18AU per litre ($4.45AU per US gallon), so in other words;

$3.44US per gallon ($0.91US per litre)

fuck..where's that at and why so expensive?


LOL @ syphoring out of cars, would be easier to just do a drive off (fill up and not pay). I work at BP part time whilst at uni, and drive offs happen quite regularly when the price is high.

I dunno why petrol's been so expensive the last few months, supposedly we keep getting told it has something to do with the Iraq situation. Economists aren't worried because it's not a supply problem, so i guess that means the price 'should' come down. No idea when though

At the mo' it's $1.55 for regular unleaded here in NZ, it includes 5c tax the govt. implemented earlier this year. I dunno how much that would be in US dollar exactly, but it would be close to $3.00.

1 liter = 0.2642 gallons    1 gallon = 3.7852 liters
Title: Re: Petrol - How much do you pay?
Post by: Don Seer on September 08, 2005, 12:01:46 PM
cool.. i just realised google coulda have told me

so.. 3.7852 * $1.75 =

$6.6 a gallon in the UK right now

Post by: Don Seer on September 08, 2005, 12:20:02 PM
^ yeah it did.. for 6 months they froze the tax

as prices go up the govt. makes more too.. coz its a percentage..
so last time they lowered the percentage to counter balance it..
so they always got about the same amount.. they always got more than they had before anyways..

difference this time is.. the price relative to inflation is actually lower than it was in 2000.. even though pump prices are higher..

Title: Re: Petrol - How much do you pay?
Post by: Mindless Minority on September 08, 2005, 12:27:18 PM
Where should the tax get cut from though? Fuel protest won't change anything. Everything will go back to normal in a fortnight with people continuing to pay high prices.

In May 2004, Simmons explained that in order for demand to be appropriately controlled, the price of oil would have to reach $182 per barrel. Simmons explained that with oil prices at $182 per barrel, gas prices would likely rise to $7.00 per gallon.

Simmons predictions are downright tame compared to what other analysts in the world of investment banking are preparing themselves for. For instance, in April 2005, French investment bank Ixis-CIB warned, "crude oil prices could touch $380 a barrel by 2015."

If you want to ponder just how devastating oil prices in the $200-$400/barrel range will be for the US economy, consider the fact that one of Osama Bin-Laden's primary goals has been to force oil prices into the $200 range.

Oil prices that far north of $100/barrel would almost certainly trigger massive, last-ditch global resource wars as the industrialized nations of the world scramble to grab what little of the black stuff is remaining. This may explain why the director of the Selective Service recently recommended the military draft be expanded to include both genders, ages 18-to-35.

As one commentator recently observed, the reason our leaders are acting like desperados is because we have a desperate situation on our hands.

If you've been wondering why the Bush administration has been spending money, cutting social programs, and starting wars like there's no tomorrow, now you have your answer: as far as they are concerned, there is no tomorrow.

What is particularly disturbing is, that from a purely Machiavellian standpoint, they are probably correct in their thinking.
