wraith_skyline Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I have been giving the current fuel situation some thought and i have decided that it is not a refinery problem as we have been told. I now believe this to be a conspiracy to remove imports from the streets! So far they have tried everything, whopping insurance prices, "random" defect stations that only seem to pull up imports and the new hoon laws so they can actually take our cars, but it has not been enough. They are not happy with removing imports one at a time, or banning us from the road for a week or so at a time. Some bright spark has realised that imports run on 98 octane fuel, and most of the public doesnt, so it is my theory that they have removed 98 octane in an attempt to stop all imports. The really sad thing is although a few bootleg supplies are available scattered througout Sydney the supply shortage is infact working and a significant decline in import use is occuring. Ok, im gunna put my tinfoil hat back on because the aliens are at my front door with a video of who really shot JFK Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/211762-government-conspiracy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt-ahhh! Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 i was going to the 24hr mobil on the hume highway (m5) at pheasants nest, and yet even that not is OUT OF ORDER! found vortex 98 on blaxland rd campbelltown, although i feel awful putting that shit in my car. no one could expect this to kill imports, or rather, performance cars. how easy is it to buy octane booster? just inconvenient and a bit pricey. +1 for the whole situation being ludicrous.

Sinful Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Caltex has there own refinary..But they were still putting "out of order" on there pumps so could charge the higher price on the certain days I found the Pheasant nest didn't have any 98 either.. and the same thing with most of the fuel stations on the way to melbourne expect for one BP out in the middle of nowhere in wangaratta VIC still 3 hours out of Melbourne but managed to have 98RON at $1.60 a litre!!! Sucks if this goes on for a long while.. Too hard to do road trips and having to plot your fuel stops around town..its just f**ked!!
