Lockable fuel caps just became the latest and greatest and must have car mod.

Ford's "lockable" fuel cap as used on cab chassis Rangers only keeps the honest criminals out. One of their locked caps can be removed in seconds with no tools. |

Fuel in Traralgon jumped overnight then jumped again between 9am & 10:30am, I cringed buying 98 for $2.10/L only yesterday, today that would have been the cheapest premium in town.

For those curious as to how petrol siphoning is done in some modern vehicles:

There is always someone worse off, even in the USA where the wages are a lot less. California are paying around A$2.07 ltr for unleaded and A$2.27 ltr for diesel.

Prices hasn't seemed to deter motorists for the moment. Driving down and back from the peninsula this afternoon, the roads were chockers. Everywhere is now $2.xx for ULP, except highway stop BPs which are still $1.9x.
It feels like petrol companies are trying to gauge at what price motorists will be willing to accept, so we might see numbers fluctuate a bit regardless of price per barrel.

Had to drive down to Brisbane yesterday and was very surprised at just how much traffic there was. I thought it would be an easy drive but no, lots and lots of traffic. Fuel (petrol and diesel) was around the $2.22 mark everywhere. |

See, There’s not even a shortage of fuel and the price has spiked on concerns in the US and then Ukraine.
Can you imagine what would happen if we lost shipping to Australia for a couple of weeks…. ScoMoFo would be saying not my problem |

Historically it's always ****ed me off that things like fuel go up based on speculation and concern that something might happen etc.
Will someone blow up that pipeline in the near future? Let's raise prices, and do it now on our current inventory. How about we actually respond to an actual real issue? As people mentioned, going up is easy, back down not so much.
