Petrol retailers across the nation are being accused of "unconscionable" behaviour by preying on people's anxieties as fuel prices surge in the midst of the Middle East war.

    Cars suck. That’s my take on this.

      They do indeed suck (fuel), but they also blow (pollution).

    Just for perspective, the typical Topup of fuel for a small car is 30l. 40c/l times 30l is $12.

    This means that if just don’t impulse buy a stale meat pie and a rancid iced coffee, next time I fill up with fuel, I will be fine.
