yea lol 1996 i remember when i could not get a car wash with my fuel because you get carwash discount for 20$ fuel spent and i also only managed to fit 19$ in when it was fully below E. also i do recall the fuel was cheaper south of auckland by another 3 cent back then. and in 1990 we used to pay what 80 cent for petrol per liter.

its not even 5 years ago 2 year ago diesel was 1.20$ qand with the 20 cent per liter off supermarket docket i got me 100 liter for 1.0$ again back then. What bugs me is that lpg here is such a huge ripoff just like food in the supermarket.

late '90's. price of coffee beans nearly doubled one year because of some crop failure .cost of beans is only a fraction of cost of a flat white. BUT everyone around the world ended up paying nearly double for a flat white, because everyone knew "cost" had doubled Utter B.S. .BUT the cost of a flatwhite remains to this day at around $4 .& aint going down anytime soon.
the point ! face it. petrol ain't never gonna be $1/ litre ever again. .because we're adjusting already to the hideous "temporary" price spikes.

meanwhile the fuel companies (not the retailers) continue to make profits from nz each year with so many 0's on the end i cant even name the number
solution: become a fuel company - they all had to start somewhere

I thought I noticed an increase at BP today when I filled up! those pr*cks are always the first to hike up their price, as soon as there is even a chance of the price of oil increasing, but they take their sweet time lowering the price back down again, with all sorts of bullshit excuses why they didn't do it earlier.
