Or massive bong O_o, Melbourne western suburbs, people go to water their garden and their hose is shorter and shorter every time.

Was around Melbourne today for work, $1.65/L for 91, new servo here in Macedon Ranges - $1.559, the original servo next to it - $1.399.

Servo price war!

The new servo are a bunch of rude tossers so we've put up a bit of a defence and we're buying fuel from our original servo.

Most people in reality are not saving. After a 10 year stint working at coles, and I imagine the same thing happens at safeway, people will have spent $15 to $20 on their shop and then go off and buy extra things so they can spend at least $30 so they can get the discount on their fuel. By they time they get the discount at the servo, they are out of pocket by $10 because lets say the average saving on a fill is $2. The system is a rort and people get sucked in.

We are the same.
We do our shopping at Aldi and buy fuel from BP and are still a long way in front of people that go to coles and woollies and get 20c/l discount dockets.

OLD BALDY · 02-01-2014, 08:32 AM

You say BP are NOT robbing bastards!!! If Coles/Wollies put up the fuel price to cover the shopper dockets. Why do BP follow with the same price?
I filled up my Terri and 3 jerries in Melb on the 31st @$1-44.9 minus 40c/L. saving $50-30
I am sure that made my Coles, proper groceries cheaper than Aldi.

Sorry old Baldy but I save around 80-100 bucks a week shopping at Aldi, but we still buy coffee and toilet paper from Woolies and K-time twist as the family only like these particular items. But with just that it give us enough for a fuel docket, but not every week.

Big Damo I'd rather somebody stealing my hose for a bong, then only 6 inches go missing at a time, not 4 foot for syphon hose.

Aldi have effectively forced Coles and Woolies to reduce their grocery prices

We shop at Aldi for 99% of our stuff and never spend enough to get a fuel voucher at Coles or Woolies. But we get them from relos who don't have cars and so win win.
Save at Aldi, same or better product than Coles, and still get cheaper fuel from Coles Express!

Used a relos 15c voucher here on Sandgate Rd yesterday to fill up

It cost roughly $650,000 per day to run an oil rig. Be thankful the pump price isn't $5 per litre!

So what, all businesses cost money to run & they still make a nice profit.

Maybe if the oil companies open their account books to the public you will see the true picture of profits but something tells me they will never do this.

BP98 is $2.34 a litre in Auckland, more further out of the main cities and can still get it...

Indeed Rodge, we are probably pretty lucky really, i believe the pommys pay even more than you guys per litre, that said,
i will still wince when i wack 70 litres in and pay for it, but i feel sorry more for the owner drivers that get bent over on a regular basis.

One day we will all have the balls to stop buying from 1 company eg no body buy from shell all this week and next week we boycot wollies ect naaa ur all a bunch of sheep u wont do that

KiwiKilda · 02-01-2014, 11:08 PM

Get ready to be reamed and pay well over 2 dolla
ouch ouch

Interceptor · 03-01-2014, 12:46 AM

What sucks is that i do 1700-1900km a fortnight, which means I've gotta fill up every 4 days or so....

joolz · 03-01-2014, 09:28 PM

Just had a though if almost everyone gave up the smokes we all would be paying well over $2 p/l to make up for the lost tax revenue from smokes not to mention the increase tax on alcohol. Just putting it out there!
