Gas Prices are cool!

Saw this the other day:



In all seriousness though, stock up before the weekend, because our financially stricken oil companies are in dire need of raising their profits and the Easter weekend is traditionally a good time to raise the ridiculously low low prices.

Last week in Sydney they rose from like 133 to 146 to 149. Its gone down a bit to 136 to 138 now. The rise just 'coincidentally' happened right before the weekend

Gas? Don't you mean petrol? (unless you fill up on LPG) :/

I heard on TV and radio this morning that Sydney-siders shouldn't be paying more than 137 for petrol and that we should definitely be filling up today as Tuesday is often the cheapest day for petrol with Wednesday being the most expensive, but they're saying that tomorrow's price will especially be high because we're coming up to the Easter long weekend.

As benben would say, grrr.

Yeah petrol rises by about 12-15 cents a litre from Tuesday evening to Wednesday lunchtime.

Whats annoying is when the news/Current Affairs shows say "Petrol could be up to $1.50 a litre within a week" all they are doing is giving the petrol companies an opportunity to raise prices to those levels whether or not we should actually be paying it, because the Petrol companies can simply say "well it was predicted"

When I started driving only 4 yeas ago I though 90 cents a litre was a rip-off!

When I started driving petrol was around 40 cents a litre. Ah the good old days!
