Diesel prices
Have diesel prices in Oz sky-rocketed in the same way that they have in the UK recently?
Is diesel considered the best type of engine in Oz from an economy perspective? - CDM |

Re: Diesel prices
$1.72 Diesel in Brisbane. The QLD Government throws a subsidy our way.
$1.52 for unleaded today. Expected diesel will top $2 by Christmas if not sooner. Is it a cheaper type of fuel ? Basically no, its more expensive. Of course the savings are usually in the fuel economy and service. That and many places in outback Queensland you simply cant buy petrol but they will have diesel. |

Nearly correct: we taxpayers in NSW subsidise QLD petrol by the GST transfer system. |

Re: Diesel prices
Is it worth getting a Diesel over here.
I seem to remember Diesel being cheaper in the UK, was that down to tax?

I dont think GST comes into it. Qld was the only state which wasn't in contravention of a high court ruling that certain fuel taxes were unconstitutional. The federal government agreed to collect these fees on behalf of the states, but agreed to hand the taxes back to Qld. So in effect, nothing has changed, petrol was always cheaper in Qld, tax back or not.
The only thing I know about diesel is that, on balance, it's not the best thing to put in a petrol tank. |

From the impenetrable language it does appear that the other states do, in a roundabout way, have some of their revenue passed on to the banana benders? |

Re: Diesel prices
So does it vary state by state the amount of rebate you get? If you were say a haulage company how much do you get back?

There are proposals later this year to scrap that system though to stop QLD state funding people who are not resident. The idea is to produce your QLD driving license when you pay to receive the rebate. This stops truckies from NSW filling up cross border and the fuel companies benefiting from it from not passing on the full amount. http://news.theage.com.au/national/b...0601-2kdq.html |
