acc fee on petrol

[sickmatesick]

Just been watching 3 news and they say petrol will go up 56c in july for acc fees! Doesn't sound right to me can anyone in the know confirm this?

Or perhaps they just mean acc levies go up to 56c?

[Guest]

its getting a bit stupid i think, there just robbing people now.

You guys forgot the decimal point !

ACC petrol levy goes up from 9.34 cents per litre to 9.90 cents per litre from July 1 2009.

That's 0.56 cents per litre.

If 1 equals a dollar or a whole, 0.56 cents per litre still equates to 56 cents a litre mate!! Did you mean 5.6 cents a litre??

[GC8E2DD]

I'm pretty sure he meant just over half a cent. That is; half of one cent per litre.

[Guest jedi warrior]

is it .56 cents or .056 cents / litre

if its .56 it will be ie: $1.55 - $2.11

if its .056 it will be ie: $1.55 - $1.606

wrong. if its .56 DOLLARS you are correct, or .056

the increase was .56 CENTS

the ACC levy (already included in the price you pay at the pump) went from 9.34 cents to 9.90 that is an increase of $0.0056

using Jedi's price of $1.55/L, the new price will be $1.5556/L

that means that you will pay $1 more, for every 180L of petrol you purchase. somehow, not a big difference to the average consumer.

Are you sure! half a cent is not a typical number that the govt would use lol and equates to about 20-30cents per tank...i would say with all the shit ACC are in 5.6cents per litre makes more sense!

I might hit up the ACC www about it!

[newsuba]

Geez did all you guys fail reading lessons at school ?

How hard is it to read a simple statement like ???

 

...the ACC petrol levy will rise from 9.34 cents per litre to 9.90 cents per litre.

That means 0.56 cents per litre.

EPIC FAIL if you can't understand that.

[Guest jedi warrior]

if its .056 it will be ie: $1.55 - $1.606

taking in the the fact the the first decimal after the . would be 10c and the second would be the 1c.

so you can expect a $0.056 increase

half a cent isn't typical for the government? this is per litre, and equates to a more than %5 increase... heres what the article says in case you didn't read it:

 

The motor vehicle license fee for a petrol car will increase from $136.44 to $168.46 and the ACC petrol levy will rise from 9.34 cents per litre to 9.90 cents per litre.

Did a little www'ing yesterday and found this:

Motorists

Motorists pay for most injuries involving moving vehicles on public roads, through a combination of a levy:

paid by motor vehicle owners through their annual vehicle licensing fee (the levy is based on the type of vehicle)

on petrol sales paid by vehicle users.

ACC proposes:

*increasing the combined average motor vehicle levy from $254.63 to $287.00 per vehicle

*increasing the petrol levy for 2009/2010 from 9.43 to 9.90 cents per litre and *increasing the average licensing fee per petrol vehicle to $168.45, resulting in a combined average levy rate of $287.00 per petrol vehicle

*maintaining the existing nine vehicle classifications.

For more information about what your levy could be, see the Levy risk group document for your industry.

So ACTUALLY the price increase is 0.47 cents per litre or for the less matmatically inclined members that means 4.7 cents per litre

isn't that a contradiction?

[cliffdunedin]

Contradicting what? that others thought that 0.56 cents per litre was actually half a cent per litre...i was being a smart ass!!

maybe reading all the posts before piping up might help

.56 cents per litre DOES mean about 1/2 a cent per litre. so does .47 the change is still ROUGHLY half a cent, per litre. not 5 cents. you can't just move it a decimal place because you only remember $1.74 as the price. it might actually be $1.7375 but you pay $1.74 the oil companies, however, deal in MILLIONS of litres, so those tenths of a cent end up being quite a bit of money.

that is a contradiction. you just said .47 cents per litre = 4.7 cents per litre. FAIL. less than half is not equal to almost 5.
