I'd pay more for petrol if.......

what happens there stays

I wouldn't pay more, for what they make it for and add in transport and a few other things we are still getting majorly ripped off

And in regards to rego and insurance, both should have nothing to do with a certain cars/bike/truck etc, a "person" should be registered and insured so regardless of what or who's vehicle the person is driving the vehicle and driver will always be covered.

Just my thoughs

Indeed! I am yet so see someone who can drive more than one vehicle at once.......
Though I would probably pay to see that!

Plus add insurance to that total.....bloody wrong! That's a fair wack of our wages......

Back in the dim & distant past, (mid '80’s) when living in the UK in my pre-car days I had what was known as a Rider Policy. Basically you insured for your largest capacity machine & were covered on any motorcycle you owned (or had permission to ride - up to the insured capacity). I had 7 bikes & the policy was the same price as a single bike policy. Based on the theory that you could only ride one at a time! Still had to register them all though, but didn't keep them all registered all of the time.

Here we keep the bus, the Patrol & my wife's car comprehensively insured & registered, & the older of the two Triumphs registered ( just to save on the hassle of getting a roadworthy if/when I ever decide to ride it again) but I think we ceased the insurance on the bikes last year as a cost cutting exercise. Then there is house & contents insurance on top of that. It sure does all add up!

Most of our policies this year were hiked up

Yea that was bs.. Mime jumped $10 a month.
We I get time to breath I will be changing..

Dont think you'll ever have a choice, as long as wages increase more than fuel costs as a percentage than it is ok. However that aint going to happen. I just like it it when diesel is cheaper than unleaded.

The problem is not all wages are increasing. Most engineering companies down here haven't increased in some years. Average boiler maker down here $23-$25/ hour..
I know back home it's worse.. And you can't keep increasing as you loose work, so the community drops below the poverty line..

Just be thankfully you haven't got trucks. That's a rip off on the rego and insurance side.

And so cost of goods go up to cover it. The bullshit cycle we are in..
