30% of the passengers I would have preferred to cancel on had I known they were so inept at using the app, understanding the rules or just plain retards. It was good timing as Uber started an open slather of recruitments and there were many more drivers for the fares available. Throw in APP glitches and crashes, and a non existent driver support platform that always favored the passenger etc it was not worth the headache.

I see petrol has jumped 30c, started over the weekend.
Apparently Putin came out on Friday and said he would follow through with his production cut, but that doesn't start until next month. Sleven still playing catch up, so fill up now and lock the price in for another week.

Makes me laugh - price of diesel is a huge driver for inflation and the RBA is out there raising interest rates every 2 seconds to combat inflation and no one is doing anything about trying to investigate alternatives for lowering the price of fuel which is a big driver of inflation ![]() Clown world.

I shop Taxis and Uber, if there's surge pricing then I use the 13Cabs app for taxis. Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 14-02-2023 at 04:05 PM. |

The reason I do this is that after speaking to a longtime Uber driver, he told me that when a number of available pickups are on offer... Uber drivers are more likely to select pick-ups from highly rated riders first for their own safety and peace of mind. Contrary to popular belief, any rating below 4.5 is considered bad in the Uber world. High passenger ratings guarantee you will get a ride quickly and won't be left waiting, so I play the game and put the odds in my favour. ![]() ![]() |

I'm about two months away from being back on the road, I was hoping by now this joke would come to an end but it seems it's not to be.
Prior I think the most I've paid for fuel was $2.47/L for 98 in Mallacoota. |

They were absolutely copping a flogging on facebook when they were looking for feedback a few months ago. Everyone was calling them rip off's and un-competitive price wise, and the moderator said he would pass the feedback on. |

So whats happened to the petrol price crisis? Was convinced we would see $3 for PULP at one stage. Seems to have settled down a bit.
https://tradingeconomics.com/australia/gasoline-prices Diesel has come down from $2.20 to $1.80, yet supermarkets are still jacking up their prices. Whats the go there?

Saw unleaded at $1.67/L in Sunshine this week for 91, but diesel was $1.82/L - United on Ballarat Rd.
Paid $2.04/L for 98 this afternoon locally. Because they're bastards, the same reason lettuce went up to $14/each but the farmer wasn't getting paid any more for their lettuce. Its an opportunity to increase the gross profit margin and hide it under a smokescreen. |
