Can anyone please explain to me why fuel has gone up over 25c per litre since Dec 2010.??? With the AUD increasing in strength towards other international currencies shouldn't we be seeing some alleviation in fuel prices. Anyway, does anyone know why we are paying so much for fuel? Appreciate your thoughts.

There are some legitimate reasons such as price of oil per barrel and the exchange rate. But I've heard so many other "excuses" from trouble in the middle east, our prices are inluenced by the "singapore market" to increased demand in China and lots of people going on holiday in America increasing the demand for fuel. They will always find a new excuse. Easter is approaching, watch the prices then and see if they try to rip off the travelling public yet again and see what excuse is used this time.
