Petrol Prices

It's highway robbery, LITERALLY!!!!!!!!! It's not fair that we pay $1.52 per liter when countries like the USA get their gas for $1.52 a GALLON (4 liters)!!!!!!!!!! Damn those greedy Oil Tycoons!!!!! lol

Just after posting this message I went out in the car to pick up my DP, and saw that the price had gone up to 152.9! Lucky I filled up when it was still 147.9.. not that that is cheap, but still

I was thinking of getting my license finally when i get home...maybe not, although I can drive mum and dad's cars....

I shop at Pak n save and on some days if you spend $150 you get 10c off but most days it is 6c....still better than nothing!...I told my hubby we have to use his company car more often now...I know it is horrible but with a new baby and a new mortgage you have to think of all the ways to save money!

Oh my gosh, its ridiculous isnt it!
We're meant to be going up to Auckland and Kerikeri in a month or two to visit family and friends (driving from Wellington) its going to cost me an arm and a leg just in petrol to get there, almost thinking of cancelling it a!
And $2 a litre for petrol, are they trying to make us into a third world country, cos eventually noone is going to be able to afford it!

HAHAHAHA good call Lizzle!!!

I heard through a "source" (secret squirrel) that Shell are hoping to push prices up to $2.00 a litre by xmas...

(OK, it was one of the ladies on another forum who knows someone at Shell)

OK....Lets try this...with all the craziness of high petrol price and high "every thing" cost, life is becoming more difficult! Even with our high income we are worried about what the future holds.

So on 17th who are we voting for?

I always voted for Labour but now I am not so sure.

yeah that sucks... nice to see them interviewing all the "rich" people and them saying "hey, we don't actually want the extra money, put it elsewhere". thing is, yeah they might get extra money but it's taking funding from other services... so in a round about way you still losse cos you will have to pay more for those services instead. Labour all the way i say. Don brash is a bit too arrogant if you ask me!

As for petorl... i remember when me and mike were first together, going away on holiday and the petrol was on special for a day, we filled our tank for just 85 cents a litre... pretty much half the price of what it is now... my god, i sound like my grandma... "in my day dear, the petrol was 85 cents, and we had bread and butter for dinner and wore potato sacks for dresses. lololololol. ok, maybe that's a bit much.

The petrol companies (BP, Mobil, Shell etc) are rolling in money.. I can't imagine them putting prices down as they have so made so much profit in the last few months. We'll see
