Long weekend = Profiteering bastards.

Of course the toothless watchdog that is the ACCC will come out in a statement saying 'Bugger that's really not much good' and do nothing about it once again.

A few years ago before everyone subscribed to the whole cashless society i used to make a killing doing armed robs at the local servo. These days everybody pays for their petrol using plastic.

If only peopled used cash more often then it would be worth the agro of getting all dressed up in black and jumping the counter for a right old bollocking. No need to actually use violence, you could achieve the same end result with the right vacabulary.

Like i said, start using cash more often and every 10-14 days just make a withdraw

im not complaining yet,where i come from in the uk(shetland islands) the petrol price is around $3 a litre for standard petrol,they dont even have super unleaded,i used to have a Gtir and i could only use it at weekends and had to buy octane booster for it,i used a starlet turbo for weekly driving.its rare to get a car over 2 litre there,i wont be complaining until it hits $2 a litre here(couple of weeks time)

$3/L that's insane, wait until we reach that 3$ mark here, then everyone will be bitchen...

dont be angry, be happy! (please refer to my sunshine and lolly pops thread)

Hahaha, lollu pops thread???

I found an old petrol docket. 78c/liter the good old days

Can't beat the good old days hey? If i remember correctly wasn't it long after that petrol prices start to rise?

Ya memories of the $1.90 2 hour tram tickets :)

It's $3.40 now if i'm not wrong.

Who cares.

Whats the difference going to be.....5-10 bux?

Meh.

Thats what you and the likes said last year, and will say the same next year... in space of three years you will be paying 40 bucks more for a full petrol tank.

I have sold my Skyline to buy a house and a new Corolla... f**k the oil companies.

BTW, cut the foreplay and make the petrol 2 bucks a litre... then only the rich will be able to drive, there will be less cars on the roads and the planet will breath easier.

I am not saying this price rise is aimed at reducing energy consumption. I am saying that higher energy prices will be a component in reducing energy consumption (Or reducing CO2 emissions, not quite the same thing) in the longer term. Hence people need to expect prices to continue to rise. Not just petrol either, electricity & gas too.

Oh and first I heard that our reserve bank was privately owned. :P

Interesting read :D

I really believe that $2 a litre is not that far away, just remember back when it first hit $1.10-$1.15 a litre..it wasnt that long ago...I reckon by this time next year we will start seeing $2 a litre

f**k the planet, its gonna get destroyed one day by a comet and what will happen is poorer get poorer, i rkn there will be mayhem and lots of killings and robberies of banks, that what probably will happen . become like America, Australia aint the lucky country it used to be, time to move country if stuff gets expensive like other countries not worth liveing here. for example ppl in this country all money hungry and everyone thinks about money all the time, u goto england or mexico or spain or italy everyone is poor and they still manage to have greate time and be happy and party and live life, here cant say its the same. some one comment on me if im wrong or got some thing to say

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
