Would You Love This...petrol At 49.9c/litre


Recommended Posts

Thought i would share this as i presume people would have read it...

but how good would it be if they did this here in vic...somewhere in the S/E suburbs where imports are lively

Would you que up? i know i would....they call it "happy hour" :)

Well well well. Why can't it be 49c a littre now? oild is well below 40 bucks US a barrell, and the all economies are in recision?

but the dollar is up the shitter, and i am pretty sure we go off of singapore's petrol pricing structure or something

it was an independent retailer, untill there is more of them, big companies are just not going to try to compete as they know that there is only a couple of do-gooders stations and thousands of big corporate stations. Outnumbered :banana::/

Nice! A colleague of mine drove his 4WD from Melb -> London late last year. most he paid for diesel was around $3 per litre. Cheapest was 1.8c a litre in Iran. And that's NOT a typo! He filled up for AU$3.

..Now who's making a sh!tload of cash between there and here??

He must've filled up at a refinery or something. The cheapest petrol in the world is generally regarded to be in Venezuela, where the govt heavily subsidises the petrol (thinks it's around AU3-4c/L)... so much so that it is a huge drain on the economy. Sierra Leone's petrol is like AU$5/L, which is just plain scary.

Possible, if there is some sort of ship capable of taking his car from the top of oz to Indo/PNG OR to Singapore, something like that. Once you're at the bottom of s.e. asia, you can drive the whole way. Tunnel under the English Channel or you could take a ferry from mainland europe to England.

think paris to dhakar, just a little further :)

It's quite funny when these stupid western suburbs servo operators do this because all they are doing is losing money on every single tank of fuel, yeah... that will show those oil giants who is boss!

I think they are well aware that they are losing money with each tank, but it's only for an hour once in a blue moon, and the operator wanted to send a message. And publicity you couldn't buy.

Why do servo's need publicity? When you are out of fuel you have no choice but to fill up.

The only message the operate will be sending the oil giants is "send me another tanker full of petrol"

Yes.... through the 20000km undersea tunnel linking Australia and Britain ;)

He saw a Vic registered 4WD in London 30-odd yrs ago and always wanted to drive there. Obviously ferries assisted him between land masses.

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
