What a disgrace. It's really not that much more expensive to produce any "premium" fuel over the standard crap. They just "need" to make up for the loss in revenue that cheaper diesel has brought after people started whinging about it's ridiculous overpricing and the govt. started listening...

Would you like some lube with your purchase of premium fuel? I'll have to check how much more it is when I fill up tomorrow morning but I fill up with 95oct regardless of the price difference.

They have been bending over diesel buyers for years, now they worked out a lot of modern cars achieve fuel efficiency and emissions by running PULP which would Rort more people than diesel, So now they have decided its someone else's turn..........

I always use regular in the BA and Territory, but when we go away I usually use premium because I have been led to believe it burns better so its better for the car...to my horror it was 14c more in Melbourne and a massive 20c more in Albury last weekend....Felt like pulling my dacks down to make it easier whilst getting bent over

I remember only a few years ago 98 was only 10c per litre more now its 13/14c's and 95 is 10's more they are just pushing the margin up somewhere. They are going to make the same money somewhere its just playing musical chairs. 12 months ago we were all whinging about petrol so petrol went down a bit and diesel was more expensive then The diesel guys were jumping up and down so diesel gos down but petrol's more expensive. Like I said musical chairs!
