fuel prices
Submitted by Faulkner Family on Wed, 2022-11-02 08:40
Don't know what it's like down metro but the prices up here in hedland are a bit of a joke.
ULP $233.9
Diesel $256.9
How can the prices jump so much
When we got the ranger diesel was under $2 per litre. Someone is killing the pig

Ask Biden
Biden may have some answers as to why the increased fuel prices ... that is if he isn't busy claiming to have spoken to inventors of insulin who died before his birth or if he isn't busy thanking dead congress women in the crowd or ...
youtu.be/7vvong9ZN10
The world's largest producers of Oil are the US, Saudi Arabia & Russia (in that order).
The Biden Administration cancelled the keystone pipeline as soon as getting into office (& other restrictions to oil production).
The US imports over a third of it's oil consumption per year.
Relationships between the US and Russia further put pressure on Oil prices (by design).
With oil prices trending up, hitting thier highest in over 10 years in June '22, the Biden administration, with the mid-term elections (early Nov '22), about 4 months away needed to relax that trend. So Biden has now sold off close to 200 million barrels of oil from the US Strategic Reserves (which is now at it's lowest level since 1985).
Biden was also caught asking Saudi Arabia to not cut back production until after the mid-term elections.
And for now, I don't need an invitation to a public forum ... even if the propagandised mob would prefer I be censored or cancelled.

AIP weekly reports
The Australian Institute of Petroleum produces weekly reports that will give you better information than I can attempt to summarise.
(Other than saying our wholesale prices are generally determined from Singapore who charge us more for Diesel than unleaded).

Product costs and fuel taxes
Cheers.
There are some good infographics in the report ... like the one that shows the product cost of Diesel is well under half the fuel pump price and another one that lists other countries and their amounts of tax ... wholly cr@p. I thought Australia would be one of the worst, but some of those European countries are out of control ... Sweden at the top.

Apart from Israel (of course), the top 6 countries on the
"highest diesel tax" list are in the top 10 "happiest countries" on earth. I guess the majority of them dont drive diesels!

Yes big taxes in Scandinavia
Yes big taxes in Scandinavia !! Went there in 2005 and a standard glass of scotch&coke equivalent to 14 bucks aus dosh. I think the fuel tax in Sweden is a deterrent because everyone rides bikes,there pretty green.As for fuel prices here I work for a family owned & operated logging company and say the increase from $1.50 liter - $2.36 liter is slapping them an extra $247000 a month just in diesel. fuckn crazy

A friend of ours owns a couple of cafe's and she's had to introduce an egg levy as the price of transport has gone off.
She was apologetic last time we were there but said "we get it" Rather see her stay in business and pay a bit extra. Crazy times

Costs will rise on everything
Costs will rise on everything to do with transport. I have some customers here in hedland saying prices have gone up already on freight.
Can't be avoided unfortunately

Petrol is a consumer fuel
Petrol is a commuter fuel doing run around things like drive to work, buy groceries and drop the kids at school.
Diesel is a freight fuel and those people that no longer drive to work, buy groceries and shop online are a big factor. Everything is trucked or courier vanned everywhere these days.
Supply and demand

Haha most goods have always been trucked around and you only notice when prices rise for frieght because it's costing nearly 2 bucks a km just in fuel to run the truck.

Understand most things get freighted around mate. I'm trying to say that more people are staying home and having things delivered by diesel powered engines.

used to be 10-15c
cheaper about 25-30 years ago.
I think it went above to pay for the farmers sub.

Exactly.
Likewise I was reading a couple of months back about Hydrogen cars which is the next thing being pushed.
The article kept talking about how by 2030 Green Hydrogen would cost between AU$1.50-$2.00kg.
So after a bit of effort, I managed to find that Hydrogen currently costs US$16.80kg because they need fossil fuel/electricity energy to produce it.
No doubt they plan to spend $Billions (subsidised by taxpayers of course) to build green energy farms that can then be used to help produce hydrogen cheaper.

Peak Oil
I remember in the 2000's they were telling us we had passed Peak Oil (Peak Oil being the point at which we would never be able to find and produce those quantities of fossil fuel oils again).
So I recently found and read a 2008 article in which they were reporting about Hubbert's Peak Oil predictions.
M.King Hubbert was a geologist who in 1956 presented his predictions that Oil production in the US would peak no later than 1970 (when it got to 9.6million barrels of oil per day).
And global Oil production would be early 2000s (which it got to 85 million barrels of oil per day).
That 2008 article was still agreeing with those predictions.
In 2019, pre-Covid-19, the US was producing 13 million barrels of oil per day and globally it was up to about 95 million barrels of oil per day.
If you look at just the proven oil reserves officially reported around the globe, we have plenty of oil for a long, long, time to come (eg. Venezuela has >1,500 years worth at it's current production rate of about 0.5 million barrels of oil per day).
(EDIT: The reported top countries proven oil reserves have actually increased in the last 10 years, not decreased)
It is really just a matter of how much they want to produce to allow them to dictate the prices (eg. Biden requesting Saudi Arabia to hold off cutting production until after the mid-terms).
