671446 2008-05-22 06:56:00 Yeah, saw that too. Pity.

Though it wouldn't matter a jot if last night's dream is right and I win Lotto this Saturday. :D

Still 1.96 at shell. Just got some and got a 6 cent fuel voucher discount too. The station was absolutely packed too.

Yes - Bendover People have been at it again.
I try to avoid them if I can.

I'd rather have Fly Buys than AA Rewards! :)

Hey - maybe that's one positive out of petrol price rises. I can get more Fly Buys! :happybday

They are blaming the rise on overnight rises. However the existing petrol in the tanks of the service station shouldn't be effected by this rise, if that is the true reason for the rise.

Has anyone else noticed that a lot of the service stations have closed down, and it is mainly only the larger ones that are operating, and that their is often a queue, even in off peak times. They are also very shabby grubby, they are obviusly not putting the huge profits they make back into maintaining their stations or the community.

Unfortionately the Pac N Slave stations are supplied by them, so if you want to get a discount on fuel, many people don't have a choice. The AA are also in bed with them, that is why they are very quiet about the whole situation. I will never be an AA member again.

Not so fast - Shell with Flybus is via litres not by the amount spent. I think its 20L for one point now. Though the more money you spend you can get more points with the Flybuys credit cards...

Sure from a macro view the fuel price is hurting but from a personal view 2 less cups of coffee per day, no unnecessary shopping etc .. can go further. People from all walks of life have diff wages and they all pretty much make do with what they got. They cannot say this is what is my expectation and I am not going to change but on the other hand petrol prices are going up ... so I blame someone cos I don't want to adjust.

671454 2008-05-22 10:13:00 The price surely is savage now. I was getting petrol some today (With security guard to put any spillage straight back into the vault) and it is up to almost half the price of the water they were selling in the service station.
Driving is alright, but if you drink (water) and drive the cost is phenomenal.
