I can't work out whether or not Julie is just a stirrer who feigns outrage or is serious about her opinions.Julie,could you clarify the situation for us?

Make everyone happy!!
Less miles, or however you want to measure distance.
With savings on just about everything!
I live in the boondocks and now shop every 14 days, eat well and 50% of the hassel of driving, Makes sense, especially as I nolonger work!
Sorry anyone traveling to work though. Then it becomes more controversial, shifting house, never easy, changing jobs the same.
Its life!

Fuelwatch is a massive vote of no-confidence in the ACCC. At the moment it's oil companies 2, ACCC 0. Fells and Samuel have been blasted off the court. If it goes to five sets the ACCC might be in with a chance, but it's doubtful.

By all accounts we've been sending in boys on a man's errand.

Time to bring in the APF, DSD or ASIO to tap a few phones and clean up this grubby oligopoly once and for all.

Or time for the Government to establish it's own fuel distribution system. It's done it in the past in banking, utilities, transport, communications; it's time the Government got its hands dirty and broke open this cosy cabal.

I thought that when Woollies got involved they'd blow the system apart - and their influence goes right up into the board room of the RBA - but it hasn't made any difference. They're in on the lurk as well.

The only thing I know is that if I fill up on Saturday morning and buy the newspapers from the petrol station I get my 8 cents off a litre. The papers are about the only thing that doesn't cost about 5 times as much as what you'd pay in a supermarket. Graeme, can you look into that one for me?

Fuelwatch; it's bunkum. It will be about as effective as Epaminondas watching his dog.

There is only one answer every country compulsory purchase oil from the multinationals and Nationalise it. Every country follow what Venezuala are doing Hugo Chavez is a hero. Why do you think Blair, Bush and Howard invaded Iraq to privatise their oil they could not care tuppence for Human rights. If that was the case they would have invaded Burma. You are right Julie Fuel Watch is the only answer it tells you the cheapest gasoline within your suburb. The consumer watchdog monitors any collusion between the Service stations and will prosecute if need be. It does work in Western Australia. Reduce the size of your car and convert yo LPG

Why Nelson's tax cuts are a bad idea:

I also think fuel watch is a good idea. It is the only way to lower prices that makes sense from a broader economic perspective.

I agree that fuel watch will help. I found another website to cover more areas than just only in WA. check out http://www.fuelwatcher.com.au/
