[[What are your taxes on fuel?]]
I think it is 32% Rich, not sure, then we've got the GST as well.
I put $50 in the tank last night and the GST was $4.55, don't know how that works, I thought it was 10%<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

That's correct, 10% is already included in the final price.Quote:

Is every body still with me on this? :rolleyes:
IE: & EG: $50 divided buy 1.1 is $45.45 to the nearest cent.
So you really only bought $45.45 worth of petrol & you paid 10% GST ($4.55 to the nearest cent) Now add $45.45 & $4.55, it's not rocket science.
Now we do it v e r y v e r y s l o w l y for the old fractions types.
The final price is actually the original price plus 10% so it is 10/10ths plus 1/10th which is 11/10ths so.... to find out the original price, you divide buy 11/10ths & everybody SHOULD know that when you divide by a fraction, you simply invert the fraction & then multiply buy it so, you multiply by 10/11ths. ;) Trust me. It works.
OK OK for the v e r y v e r y v e r y v e r y s l o w people....
Either divide the final figure by 11 & then multiple by 10 or...
Multiple the final figure by 10 & then divide it by 11.
The result will be what you paid for it BEFORE they added 10% GST .:cool:
Is any body still with me?:confused:

Cliff, you're supposed to petrol in your motor car's fuel tank, not sniff the stuff.
Richard
It's too expensive to sniff. :cool:
Nah, just joking, be glad your car doesn't run on bottled water, coke or bloody wine. Even the cheapest plonk is still about $6 a litre. :D
Try this lol :D ;) http://www.pm.gov.au/email.cfm

A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the motorway. Nothing is moving. Suddenly a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down his window and asks, "What happened?" "Terrorists have kidnapped John Howard and are asking for a $10 million ransom. Otherwise they are going to douse him with petrol and set him on fire. We are going from car to car to take-up a collection."
The driver asks, "How much is everyone giving on average?"
"About a litre."
Golden Gate Chateau Cardboard is currently selling for $7 for a four litre pack, I am not willing to try it at that price, would have to be a quality drop though;)Quote:

What really urinates (:D) me off is GST on fuel, 10% on top of a tariffed(?) and exised item, double whammy for Johhny a tax on a tax on a tax.
I think the exise needs to be exorcised and a tax attacked.
Bloody beaurocrats, flopping their fat ar ses in huge tax funded limo's telling us how well off we are.
Your $7 4L box is still more than fuel at present & it, the plonk that is, has a 29% wine equalisation tax on it & then a 10% GST as well. :eek:
And I'd put money on it that this is watered down a tad and we pay tax on the quantity not quality:rolleyes:Quote:

This guy sent a pic of the bowser he filled up at in Caracas, Venezuela. BS - Bolivares is their currency. Note the price of the Premium on the left 0.70.0, that equates to 4 cents AUD a litre.

What I find interesting, fuel users are complaining about the price of fuel. I believe, one sure fire way to save fuel is to slow down. In my travels on both rural and urban roads I have found, generally, this not to be the case, especially on urban roads........
Cheers:)
Buzzer.
Interesting! Actually I looked it up in the "CRC Standard Mathematical Tables" book before I posted.Quote:

We may be separated by a common language but we sure as heck share the same sense of humor!
Nope, that is humour, not humor. :D
