Fuel prices skyrocket in Alice
So in the past 2-3 weeks, I've seen the price of diesel go up roughly 10%!
WTF mate!!!!!
We're now paying roughly $1.749 for a single litre of diesel. You can save another $0.08/L if you shop at certain grocery stores and spend $30 or something.
Has this put a dampen on my outback adventures? Just a weee bit. Less steaks and more 2 minutes noodles once you get there. I know that oil is a commodity that is ever decreasing in supply, but shocks in price like that are ridiculous.
I'm now going to reminisce (sp?) warmly about driving in high school when I could get a litre of petrol(oz)/gas(cdn) for $0.47/L. Ahhhhhhhh, those were the days.
Cheap fuel came in handy back then cause everywhere you drove was uphill and through a meter of snow....technically it was probably three feet of snow.... you know, back in tha day and all.
Peace in the middle east.... may arrive once the oil has left us.
