Ulp @ $1.449 av
Dies @ $1.629 av

Up until a few years ago diesel was always at least 30 c less per litre, but they reckon there is higher demand for it now so up it goes.

Mum and dad numbnuts and their 4WD Axl......

Rupe

You seriously believe that?

Actually they said it was China using the diesel, and using it for heating etc

Come on,....., they tell me Chinese workers only get a cup of rice and half a fish for a day's work,,,no mention of Diesel.

Consumption has definately risen in a number of places , Asia,Africa ,the middle east and Latin America. So much for global warming!!!!.

.... not that much Sleepe..... just hate numbnuts and 4WD.... the two just seem to go together.....

Like really.... does mum need a 4WD to drop little Johnnie and Mary to school and go to the supermarket......

Never have understood the 4WD craze..... bushies, cockies, those outback and up the top end...

Yeah.... but mum and dad..... give me a break.... my car's bigger than your car... makes me feel more powerful and more important....

Numbnuts... I tell ya.... numbnuts....

Rupert,I agree 100% , and not only do those big 4WD's use heaps of diesel,they are a bloody dangerous thing to have around an area with kids. BAn them except for farm owners.

Nah... just tax them ... like an extra $2000 a year to rego them.... that'll learn them.... cause them pain I reckon.....

And the fine moneyto be used for AP research

I just started a thread that relates to biofuels, I hate paying for petrol, especially at $1.50 p/L. I'd get a horse if I was allowed to have one on my property. council won't even let me have chickens so I have no chance.

ps... 4WD's are awesome...

councils are a bunch of *sigh*

I'm getting chickens anyway... but I think someone might complain about a horse...

Aparently diesel is so much more expensive now because it is more highly refined for the CRD's.

hmm i thought it was the opposite ...
ohh after readin that articel it makes sense i guess with extra costs in production comes extra costs for consumers etc etc

tried to talk to my boss about fuel prices being high and our ( as in humanity) adiction to wasting oil, he said that the goverment should just lower the taxes on it to give us a little relife, which as a short term solution to inflation i can sorta understand however he didnt seem to grasp the bigger picture :sigh

Cheers

I think the fuel prices have alot to do with the falling value of the U.S. dollar. Because worldwide oil is (Mostly) traded in U.S. dollars. So if a U.S. dollar is worth less than it takes more of them to buy the same amount of oil. Anyway here are some entertaining if not interesting links.

Now what is causing the falling US dollar? Oil?

Found an interesting paper about increased fertilizer prices and how the ridiculous US ethanol policies are pushing prices higher.
