BP and the Ethanol scam

A while back BP introduced a fuel called E10 - its 10% ethanol and its always about 4c a litre cheaper. Problem is that I have never been able to buy it. Every BP I go to is out of stock. I have a feeling thats its not due to popularity, but due to them wanting to look like doing their bit, but then forcing you to buy unleaded instead. Bastards !!!!

Fuel Prices

This is one of those post i have been meaning to do for ages, but every time I sit down to do it something else happend that drives the story and expands it a little bit more.

Todays case is that oil has hit $100 per barrel. All those nice oil people thought it was best they should pass this on ASAP to us poor motorists, so fuel went up be 10c today.

When I was originally going to write about the scam of fuel prices it was just after the ACCC has handed down a reeport that said there was no obvious examples of pricing fixing or cartel activity. Its just convient that all major world events that affect the petrol price happen on a Thursday and then calm down on a Sunday. Regular as clock work.

The ironic thing was the week after the fuelk companies hiked it by 10c in the week before christmas for no apparent reason. And it wasn't even a Thursday.

Mmmm. I can see a pattern here and its not pretty. So fill up on a Monday or Tuesday, unless you are me and forget..
