If there is a complaint about the exhorbitant fuel price we pay, complain to the fuel companies that charge it.
The oil "owners" don't get anywhere near what the retail price is.
Think about companies like BHP. For every ton of coal that is loaded onto a ship, the customer has paid around the $152.
BHP get about $50 of that as clear profit after all mining, transport & shiploading costs are covered.
And export terminals like Newcastle spit out something like 120,000,000 tons per year. (120 million tons)
120million X $50 = $6,000,000,000 per year in clear profit, and that's just from 1 export terminal. There are 3 biggies in Qld (Hay Point, Dalrymple Bay & Abbot Point) & Newcastle is being doubled in size with a twin being built next door.
Nice car tho........
