Fuel Prices Around the World?

Question

My local BP service station is selling at AU$1.09 for a litre of diesel. Thats about 46pence per litre. Out of that amount the government take 38 cents in duty and then another 10% of the selling price in GST, 10.9cents. Transport costs I'd guess at about 2.5 cents per litre if they can take a full load of diesel - about 55,000 litres.

So about 50cents for the oil company which considering the investment most of them have in refining and drilling does nt seem overly high, certainly their return on investments in terms of share dividends is not over the top.

The prices have increased from about 85cents six weeks ago.

It would be interesting to see margins on other services - phones, McDonalds, etc. anyone know?

Dave Liquorice · Answer

Diesel is more expensive than unleaded in the UK by 3 to 5p/l. I'm sure it used to be 3 to 5p/l cheaper.

"announced" that indicates that the price is fixed for the season? In the UK the price varies rapidly and greatly influenced by the price of crude and demand.

However I sincerly hope that the UK price is not at that price level of approx 42p/l.

Richard Brookman · Answer

so Dave Liquorice was, like...Ah yes, so it did, because it was held to be better for the environment than petrol.  Then we all bought diesel cars and hey presto! the Gov say it's bad for the environment and it's now more expensive than petrol.LPG is currently "good" for the environment and is cheap.  However, in the last budget, GB was talking about the benefits of LPG being less than was once thought, and that the duty would be brought up to match U/L in the longer term.Spot a pattern, anyone?I don't mind paying the duty so much, it's being lied to and manipulated that boils my p*ss.
