“I can’t believe petrol is now more than $2 a litre,” says local man who paid $700 for two bags on Saturday night

DRUG FUELLED: A Sydney man is venting his frustration about record fuel prices as the war in the Middle East continues to threaten oil supplies.

While filling up his tank today at Rushcutters Bay, Jasper Doogle-Worsley accused Australian oil companies and the service stations of profiteering off the conflict.

“$2.20 a litre is out of control,” he told DBT. “At this rate I’m even considering public transport.”

However his friends say Mr Doogle-Worsley spent $700 on two bags last weekend without even blinking.

“He whipped out the cash so fast,” says one friend. “And he was so generous with it too, racking up anyone who asked.”

At press time, Jasper Doogle-Worsley was believed to be driving across Sydney to potentially save 4 cents a litre.
