So its gone from the highs of $154 per barrel in June ($1.70 p/ltr at pump) to the current $50 (drop of 67.5%) per barrel and $1.24 p/ltr (drop of 27%)at the pump. I understand that the $AU has dropped around 30cents since then but we are still getting ripped at the pump.

If fuel does drop below one dollar a litre what happens to the Holden 99 cents a litre offer, if it drops below 99 cents then do the Holden people still pay at 99 cents a litre, sure takes the sting out of their offer, noticed it isn't being advertised at the moment, also makes the $2000.00 free fuel card with some Ford models way better now.

No FG Turbo Ute, it's just means that there's no benefit to Holden's program.

Having 320Nm of torque on tap from as low as 1800rpm is wonderful. Why is it that that unleaded has dropped a massive amount but diesel hasn't? At one stage there, diesel was just as, if not, in some cases, cheaper than unleaded at the bowser. Now we're seeing a 30c/L price difference again? What gives?

It doesn't seem to matter how much noise the public make, it's only crawling down in price. But if the price of oil goes up, the oil companies dont muck around putting the price up straight away. Still not happy Jan...........

I forgot to mention before that even if the $AU dropped to 50cents oil would only be $US 100 per barrel so again we are being ripped hard at the pumps. Maybe Holden saw this coming and succesfully conned hundreds into the 99c cap to no real benefit to the buyer at all!!!

Just remember that about 60c of the price of a litre of petrol is taxes / excise. This doesn't drop just because the price of oil does. Only the GST does, albeit by about 5c based on a 50c fall.
So at 160cpl, 60cpl was tax. 100cpl was the oil price and profit. When the dollar was at US98c and the barrell was $155USD it equated to $160AUD. Now it is $50USD barrell & US63c which equals $80AUD. If $160AUD equalled 100cpl, then $80AUD equals 50cpl. Add back in the tax and the new amount is 105cpl even including the original profit margin. Consider that petrol is now at 116cpl, the companies are making an extra 10cpl on top of their previous price. So, yes we are being ripped off. NB The barrell price isn't how our prices are determined either. It comes from the Singaporean MoGas price. The barrell of crude merely is the floor /bottom price that can be achieved before refining costs.

the fuel group always have reasons justifying the price of fuel and keep it up , would have thought they would have jacked the barrel price up after the hijack of that oil tanker
but interesting that even with a low dollar of aprox .55 to the us in 2001 and a barrel price of aprox $40 all not that far from now and we were only paying around 80 to 90c a litre , and yet we are still paying around 35 to 40 cents more than that now http://theoilfiles.blogspot.com/2006...8-to-2006.html http://www.x-rates.com/cgi-bin/hlookup.cgi

PS The fact that the markets didn't automatically go up after the 2M barrell supertanker got hijacked shows how poor the market perception (recession et al) is at the moment.
