New South Wales Australia is calling for ‘Covid-style’ protocols including fuel rationing and working from home.
They’re going to lock people down over lack of fuel for vehicles!
Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday, Energy Minister Chris Bowen provided a fresh update on the growing number of stations that have run out of fuel:
“In NSW there are 164 without diesel, 290 without at least one type of fuel,’’ Mr Bowen said.
“In Queensland, the figure is 55 with no diesel. At 35 no regular unleaded. That’s out of 1800 service stations.
“In Victoria, the figure is 162 with one or more grades unavailable out of 1627 service stations.
“In South Australia, one or more grades are unavailable out of 700.
“In Western Australia, I’m advised, it’s six out of 771.
“In Tasmania, it is one with no diesel and six were now unleaded out of 250 service stations.
“In the Northern Territory, there are no shortages as a result of fuel supply, but there are, of course, issues in relation to flooding and road access.”
In Australia and in European countries, fuel is priced by the Liter, not by the gallon. There are 3.78 Liters per U.S. Gallon. Look at the prices for fuel in Australia:
Based upon the gas station price sign above, their fuel cost in U.S. Dollars is as follows:
Ehtanol-10%: (87 Octane) $7.55 per gallon
Regular Unleaded - NO SUPPLY
Diesel - $7.29 per gallon
Super Unleaded (93 Octane) $8.46 per gallon
It is important to point out that Diesel in other parts of Australia is now at 2.829 per liter which coverts to $10.69 per gallon.
Since everything, except electricity and natural gas, must -- at some point -- move by truck, E V E R Y T H I N G will see major price increases to cover the transportation costs. At some point, it will simply be too expensive to buy . . . . anything.
About that time is usually when things like FOOD RIOTS begin.
While we here in the USA will never run out of fuel because we have so much of our own natural resources, the prices for that fuel are set based upon the GLOBAL price. High prices here, will see the exact same results with price increases for things like food.
Buy what you can, now, while it is still available and you can still afford it.
