Lots of good this does me.. :(

Just heard that people by the border are driving into Mexico to fill up, and that diesel is even cheaper than gas there.

Good morning Mr Miser
Good morning Mr Postman
I have a rather large and heavy parcel for you this morning
Oh good, Its my 40 litres of diesel I ordered from Malta!
Quite a thing, this deregulated post office
:roll:
-
jason the diesel we get in malta has been known to void engine warranties on BMW's and Mercedeses and at the price we do get it no-one else wants it!

Great Site!!!! Read the whole thing 8)

Not sure which is funnier some of the 'Homer's failing to understand the site ...or the site :mrgreen:
-
if i'm the homer i understood it... but they couldn;t have chosen a worse country to make the pun with... however it was worth pointing out what "maltese" diesel implies (low quality/high price)... and honestly we're sick and tired of it :( even joining the eu didn't get things any better (actually worse lol prices went up) but on the + side we can brew our own bio-diesel legally :D maybe we can offer that to petrol direct in 3 flavours/scents...
also keep in mind that with the rate of efficency of the maltese post office if sent by christmas 2008 will arrive at easter 2009 ...

Don we are paying $2=60 per litre for diesel over here and our living standards are lower. So we have at least twice as much to complain about :cry:
Our postal service was taken over by the Dutch [at least the profitable parts] and our water by the French and our Electricity by the Germans. Our car industry by the Chinese and our food by the Indians. Our fruit by the Israelis... We do still produce most of our own potatoes though [good old Sir Walter Raleigh] Slave labour is covered by the Polish which is helping keep wages down to nothing. :wink:
Actually before I clicked links on the petrol site I was taken in and kept murmuring to myself about the impossibility of sending the stuff through the post[ :roll: /color]
-
Over here its 0.87 GBP per liter... if yours is 2.60 USD then its 1.33 GBP per liter? You pay more than us???????? was the $2.60 you wrote for normal diesel or maybe for shell high performance or similar?
-
$4.70 a gallon for diesel here :shock:
-
$4.70 a gallon for diesel here :shock:
And $4.49 if you know where to look down here in Clemson.
-
$4.75 here :(
Makes my 124 mile commute to and from work VERY painful...
I think it's time to look for something closer to home, at this rate I could take a $5000.00 a year pay cut and make the same money if I can find something within 15-20 miles from home.
-
Diesel is 139.9/l here, dollar is about at par with the U.S. dollar.............
-
just payed $4.97USD for a gallon. Took $50 to fill up my rabbit.
-
has any one in the uk got fuel from http://www.petroldirect.com/order.htm
any probs? duty payed?
-
I miss being in Pakistan - last I left it was about Rs 40/litre about 80 cents and it took me Rs 1700 to fill my VWs tank - which lasted me 1000 kms in city driving. quality was good also
Being in london sucks for fuel prices - 130 pence for a litre of diesel is madness
-
You guys have nothing to complain about, diesel is 5.30 per gallon here in LA. This sucks, I'm seriously considering paying for biodiesel in Woodland Hills, it's more expensive but at least the stupid Saudi oil barons don't get my money.

pretty sure 130 pence per litre works out to around $9.80USD per US gallon...

Whoa... never mind, I'll quit complaining :lol:
-
Now subtract all taxes from both prices and see who's paying more. :D
-
Well our gas is subsidized by the federal government, no idea how much though. We SHOULD be taxing the fuel, then all the damn SUVs would be off the road. Hate those things.
-
All 3 of my cars are SUVs. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
-
As are 2 of mine. 1994 Suburban 4x4 and 1999 Durango 4x4, and my 1986 Golf Diesel. I have to have the big trucks or would not make it out ou the driveway in the winter!!
