The price of petrol

[Glenhuon (Bill)]

Bearing false witness (lying) is also one which is pretty well ignored too.
The acquisition of goods and wealth is taught from the cradle to the grave in our society, never heard of anyone being described as "successfully frugal"

Probably some greeny's idea that they tax more on diesel cos it looks dirty!

5 years ago most car manufacturers didn't import diesel cars into Australia either because our diesel was "truck grade" so to speak.

The diesel fuel standard has increased quite dramatically over the last few years which is why we now see a large amount of diesel cars being imported into Australia. This is probably why the diesel price has gone up compared to petrol.
