Ye i'm wondering if LPG prices are going to start following petrol......Its all down to the barrel price for petrol and tonnage price for LPG.

Last year they said their was a very cold winter in Europe and that sent LPG thru the roof....This year has been exactly the oppesite......Go figure!

Well other than a very rare exception every servo in Adelaide Is 1.19

Have been for a week. Interesting every station across all brands is the same and 'competition' seems to be null. It's almost as if they're operating as a single entity...

Lets hope they stay that way for at least the next 5 weeks

Shell on Churchill road has 98 V Power for 113.9 , unleaded for 96 thank goodness for the Costco next door for driving the prices down.

Has the price of engine oil halved? I'm guessing if the raw material is less than half price....HPR30 should now by around $15 per 5 litres....

Most engine oils are either all, or partially synthetic now, so, I wouldn't a big reduction in price.

HPR 30 is mineral only thing to run in old V8s and air cooled 4 stroke bikes or bike bore singles.

After returnjng to Adelaide after two weeks overseas, I was dissapointed to see petrol had jumped to around $1.18 a litre ( was 99 cents pre trip). However went to Costco today, and they had unleaded for 95 cents a litre. Even the BP a few hundred metres down the road was selling it for $1.17 ( and they were trying to price match for a little while, but have obviously given up). Too bad we cant bring in petrol duty and tax free, got a couple of bottles of vodka for $15 a bottle, same bottles in shop were $50.

So I finally got made redundant from my job working on the rigs.

I found out on monday that today is my last day at work, i fly back home tomorrow morning.

Redundancy x3 for me now within 16months and no pay out because i havent been here long enough.

Gutted. Was a fun job.

Crisis here in Rockhampton, No power, No communications (just getting a bit here and there, hence why I'm here for now!)
Only One petrol station open Friday / Saturday for a radius of 100kms with over 100000 people within. a couple more open today with generators.
34 degrees here today with big humidity, I reckon I would be more comfortable at Manus Island.

If people enacted there cyclone plans they would all have a tank full of fuel, a cupboard full of food and a bath full of drinking water.

I feel sorry for the people that lost there houses or had belongings damaged, but i wont stand for people that think, "she'll be right".

Ye I read about this re occuring low in oil again in the LPG section yesterday.

Looks like we'll be seeing $1.00 per litre petrol again very soon.

Great for petrol users, not so good for LPG conversion business's.

Syndrome · 17-03-2015, 10:58 AM

Under $44 per barrel.

Oh no, no A/C or phone - its the end of the World, what are we going to do.

I would have thought that's how you stop the chaos.

And no water in some areas due to no power to pumping stations to the reservoirs.
some normality is coming back atm I still have no power, more than half the city does. need to be patient. this all reminds me of the good ol days of the 70s growing up as a kid. hot days and nights and no cooling. we all become too adjusted to the modern comforts we have. any way continuing on with the unplanned camping holiday and cleaning up.
Some stories I have heard to remain on topic, some fuel operators jacking up fuel prices during the peak demand

4stanger · 23-02-2015, 01:33 PM

Fuel issues here were for generators. Rockhampton for the last couple of nights was a giant campground of over 50000 people in pitch darkness in most areas. Some lucky ones & doomsdays are prepared. Generator sales are on the up and can't keep the stock up. There is a lot of stories out of this to come. I have to save power.

Syndrome · 18-03-2015, 10:13 AM

Under $43 per barrel.

CyberWasp · 07-07-2015, 02:13 PM

I reckon it could drop to $10 a barrel and the AU$ could be $2.00 to the US$ and it still wouldn't hit $1.00 a lt here.

The ACCC is doing their job, just the other week I saw that they are thinking of taking a pharmaceutical company to court for incorrect labelling.

One packet labelled Paracetamol, another labelled for Back Ache, but apparently it contains the same product!

(Much easier than tackling major oil companies with well paid Barristers and PR staff)

No worries, she`ll be right, our illustrious decision makers wouldn't have put all of our aussie eggs in the the one chinese basket ........ would they ?????

Oil companies would not profiteer/take advantage of unsuspecting motorists would they ???

martyal44 · 12-07-2015, 09:46 AM

$1.27 per litre 91 ethanol on northern part of Central Coast (Wyong) not bad.
