Caltex Fuel Fraud

During the festive season, i.e. Public / Religious, and school holidays, the general public are treated to a price rise in fuel, from the petro chemical giants.

Media outlets warn motorists to stock up on fuel before certain days, BUT petro chemical bosses deny any wrong doing.

The photo above was taken on the first day of the school holidays, and illustrates that Caltex sells:
fuel at

  • Unleaded 123.9 cents per litre,
  • Diesel 119.9 cents per litre
  • LPG 59.9 cents per litre.
LPG prior to the school holidays was selling at approx 45 cent per litre, has increased 15 cents per litre or an astonishing 30% OVERNIGHT.

This is a fraudulent practice by the oil companies holding the motorist at ransom.

Many Australian Motoring bodies concede that the motorists are being ripped off, BUT no government is taking ANY active resolution.
