I went to Calder from the eastern suburbs friday night, i had a choice cars to take, my 2.5 diesel Navara or the wifes BA wagon, i took the Nissan due it costing very little in fuel, yesterday i went to the citylink website to buy a pass and i find new vehicle classifications :
The classifications for vehicles on CityLink are:
Car: Includes cars towing a trailer or caravan
LCV: Any cab chassis 1.5 - 4.5 tonne GVM, 2 axles
HCV: Includes rigid trucks with three or more axles or over 4.5 tonnes GVM; buses with 13 or more seats including driver; articulated trucks.
So my Navara cost $17.50 as any duelcab ute does now ( Hilux, Courier, Triton, Rodeo) so much for the saving on fuel costs.
Had i taken the BA it would have been $10.90. If i was driving a 3 ton V8 Landcruiser towing a caravan it would be $10.90.
So after profit margins so far surpassing what they had ever imagined, they celebrate by raping the consumer again.
As far as i'm concerned they go and get %#&*%$
I emailed them outlining my disgust.
