Fuel prices

I get tired of the agitation about fuel prices but with no real and open investigation into the prices. Occasionally after public agitation we hear some commission come up with there being 2c over charge or some such nonsense.

This morning on the radio there was a discussion on fuel, and it focused on the amount of profit margin that stations have. Assuming that its 8c as the RACQ suggested then thats a margin of 6 or so percent.

A popular phrase at the moment is to "talk about the elephant in the room" Well ok, lets look at that elephant.


the profit is a small part of the pie when it comes to the price we pay at the bowser, so how about we start dissecting that and request a little transparency in this process. I mean its not like fuel can be considered a luxury item anymore.
