:yeahthat:

I saw a bit on the news the other night about a service station in Sydney that cut it's price by over 40 cents per litre in order to send a message to the big companies that what is happening at the moment in my country is extortion.

Our price is about $1.40 to $1.50 per litre at the moment.

There were idiots on the news saying they just saved $50 to $70 :lol:

What size tank do they have?

Some people are so stupid that they drive around for 4 days with the needle on the red and then fill up and put 20 litres MORE fuel in their car than they usually do and then claim that petrol is so dear that it cost them 40 bucks more than last week :lol:

Simple maths tells me that for every 10 cents per litre petrol rises you will pay $10 more per 100 ltires

Now unless you have a massive truck with a 3oo litre tank in it i don't really think you'll be saving $70 on a fill if it drops 40 cents :lol:

BTW this is not aimed at gummy

Just the morons i saw on the tv last week :lol:

My tank wasn't always low.
Sometimes, I would fill it up when it was at a half and other times at other levels.
But it always seemed like I was putting at least $70 a week in it.
Now, the other day, it was just below a quarter of a tank and it cost $48 to fill it up.

Yeah but your only claiming to have saved about $20 which is reasonably considering the price drop you just had

I'm talking about people who say it costs them 20 -50 bucks more or less when it just goes up or down a few cents.

Those guys are morons

Then when it's a huge jump they act like they just won lotto and saved hundreds :lol:

Gas was over $4 a gallon here and now it's $2.45. That's a huge savings in my SUV each week. :hail:

I have two tall adults and 3 nearly adult size children and a dog that goes everywhere with us. We need a large vehicle and actually when I bought it I lived in a rural hilly area prone to snow so I needed 4 wheel drive so an SUV was the best choice. Since I moved to Myrtle Beach I haven't needed it the 4 wheel drive. :lol:
