Does that apply to diesel as well? Yes, of course. > Does that apply to diesel as well?

Additional and un-called-for information: Some of the Caltex servos let you use your discount vouchers for LPG. Some of the Caltex servos won't honour Woolworths fuel discount vouchers - they crap on about offering friendly service and convenience with stickers on the pumps, though. Which would be nice if it wasn't total bullshit.

Perhaps make it 20cents/l - I would pay to see that. Jock > Does that apply to diesel as well? > Should do., > It's about time Coles & co. gave a CPI + peak oil related increase on their > discount.

I think so. What is 4c on $1.90 ? f.cking costs more to keep track of the vouchers. >> Does that apply to diesel as well? > > I think so.

My former boss had a deal with a few BP servos around Melb which gave him 4cpl discount plus he also got a 1cpl discount because he buys more than 1 million ltrs per year plus another 1cpl off because he always pays his fuel bill in full every week.

I particularly Looovve the 1cent off scam for paying weekly. f.ck, I pay every time I use the pump/ That's worth at least 2 cents off, right? But I'm starting to think Discount is not the right word at all. What's happening is that the main players are given the correct pricing structure, and the rest are gouged. The spin being that the shop price of the item is discounted, rather than that the shop price of the item is simply a super-high retail rate which most people simply Have_To_Pay. The great unwashed is out here thinking ALL the stuff they buy especially food is subject to the massive prices they see for diesel at he servos - nothing could be further from the truth. And then we have the contract hauliers shifting stuff for the big players under contract - the main players are actually driving these people out of business by contracting them to move stuff for them at fuel price rates utterly different to those then pay themselves. Nice. Anyway, the 'explanation' for the high price of Diesel in Australia is simply the OilCo's being advantage takers. It's a head-to-head competition with GovCo (also set up as a disgusting business revenue raising venture) for the money of the people. Those in business, formerly regarded as being the base set of Diesel Users can use their expenditure on diesel to offset taxation. Needless to say, OilCo's want as much of that amount per litre as they can get, and boldly ask for it at the pumps. They get it of course because GovCo is too sh.t-scared of the turds to compete properly, and so guess who loses. Big time. In short, anyone in civi-street using their car in an entirely normal manner, is a Victim if they use diesel. And they are nutso-whacko to buy a diesel vehicle, unless they're on that extremely precarious salary-sacrifice taxation scam.

In the case of woolies, they are only honoured for LPG at Plus Petrol outlets, not all Caltex outlets. They are honoured at all Caltex branded outlets for petrol and diesel AFAIK. In the case of coles, they are only honoured at shell outlets showing coles express signage. That applies for all fuels. The vouchers have a volume limit. The coles and woolies ones usually run a limit of 150L but some high-discount (eg 10c/l off) or other brand (eg IGA) vouchers are limited to smaller quantities. IIRC, the IGA limit is 80l. That's limit per transaction. So you go in, put in 150l, pay, then go and put in another 150l, pay... Or, late in the evening, chuck 2 bowsers onto 2 fillers and put 150l in each then pay the two on separate transactions. :-) SignatureAthol <http://cust.idl.com.au/athol> Linux Registered User # 254000 I'm a Libran Engineer.
