Nice numbers, Peter. Like those ones from late in Trump's term and early in Xiden's.
I assume electricity would be equally or more compelling.
It would be some empirical evidence to show the "Renewables are cheaper" zealots. Because so far no facts have made a dent in their ignorance. More renewables equals more redundant capacity by necessity, and more fragility, therefore inevitably greater costs despite the BS claims about solar panel and windmill prices. Solar on prime farmland, and windmills in healthy forests are 2 of the most insane policies I have seen in my life. Talk about inverted reality, it literally is the opposite of what they claim.
My energy bills, petrol for the car, gas for cooking, and electricity for the rest have only been going up. Quite dramatically at that.
Each nation has its own specific formulation of energy sh!tfuckery. We have a gas cartel on our east coast that rapes and pillages consumers and squeezes out industries that are energy dependent. The west coast has domestic gas reservation and costs have stayed relatively low.
Yes, the taxes are also terrible. And soon it will be a user charge for road distances covered since EV's have to be captured too while ICE vehicles drop in %. It is funny, they keep doing the same play, and it keeps working. Herd consumers into a 'free' option, then charge in some new way. After the consumer has spent hugely on the EV.
This is a depressing site (petrol cost) as it reminds one of the rort taking place, well illustrated by the >50% taxation of gasoline in New Zealand and consequently, the outrageous prices at the pump, extorted to feed the insatiable thievery by eco-communist WaterMelons of work (money) from the populace, to inflict destitution, despair, dependency, deprivation, depopulation, deindustrialisation and ultimately death.
I suppose it's relative to earnings as well?
In the sense that earnings = source of taxes, yes. Though the oil producing nations are richer than other "poor" countries.

Thanks Peter, Very useful info.
