Good idea. :) I'd wear shoes though, no idea how the Flintstones made it go with bare feet.

Wasn't criticising. Didn't even cross my mind to.  :)

Out of interest, what alternatives?

Yes for once I used my shopper docket voucher and filled up on Tuesday for $1.09 a litre to avoid the Easter hike.

Just reading the herald sun up here on the net, cant believe that petrol is so expensive down there in Melb.

The two weeks that i have been in Qld it hasnt gone past about $1.14

There is absolutely no justification for 20 cents difference between 2 states.

The government is a disgrace and something has to be done, the sad thing is that i think people are just happy to keep paying for it no matter what the price.

Doesn't the Queensland government provide some petrol discount that the other states don't?
