As said by JPFS1 from the linked forum post. I have changed the figures to reflect current prices etc:
Quote:
here's a break down of petrol pricing in $Aus.
AUS/USD = 0.96c (today)
Crude = $US 147 (last night)
Cost of 1L of Crude = 147/159 = US$ 0.925
1L of Crude in AUS$ = 96.2c
Excise = 38.15c (remains a constant)
GST = 13.44c
Petrol station margin ~ = 3c
So total is 150.8c a litre.
According to todays MotorMouth site, the av. price for fuel in Sydney today = $1.644
That's a 13.6c margin back to the oil co.
As you can see, at the moment, the government coffers must be laughing all the way to the bank when you consider they are receiving ~50c per litre in TAX.
