I'm already paying $1.41 for ULP. Petrol jumped 11 cents in 7 days. It is now dearer than diesel again.
They keep telling us $1 a barrell is 1c at the pump but a barrel didn't jump $11 in a week.

I put $60 in on Tuesday morning at $1.26.9 and yesterday (Wednesday) it was $1.39.9 at the same place.
I have not run Vortex, or Optimax, for weeks. All I can afford is the standard stuff my wife runs in her EA S Pack (and can barely afford that). This is getting bloody rediculous. I've been thinking about some 'cheap as' daily driver for some time (maybe a motor bike).

Well, I was looking at the gas price between last night and this morning.
Last night - 41.9 c/lt This morning - 49.9 c/lt It went up 8 c/lt in 15 hours.

Think back to the start of Mad Max 1 when they would do anything for a tank of juice. I wonder how long it will be until we start seeing scenes like this?
Cheers, Danny
