Mobil-Quix fuel "discount" rip-off
Here's something I thought worth posting. Anyone who's considered using that Quix (Mobil) petrol "discount" offer, don't! It's a rip-off. You can't win.
For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, they have an offer where if you spend $5 in store, they give you 4c/Litre off fuel. The first catch is, to make up that $5, you'd have to buy 125 Litres of petrol (more than even a Falcon or Commodore fuel tank).
$5.00 = 500c
500c / 4c/L = 125L
The second catch is, the fine print says the offer is limited to 100L of fuel! That means that as a best case, you lose $1.
RIP OFF!!!! Boycott the offer!

Sneaky bastards! Man, that really is low... :(
Yeah, I noticed that, when the ad first came on I was thinking hmmm... there is no way you coudl make that money back in petrol. Oh well, I guess if you were goign to buy somethign anyway it gives you a discount, even if it's a small one.
Ok, what happened to this blog! ACTION!!!
do you see why i never had one in the past?
Just post anything!
