Adrian Portellis Fiery Rant on Discount Fuel Prices

Adrian Portelli has gone on a wild rant about the discount fuel prices he is offering at his LMCT+ petrol station in Preston, Victoria,

Last week, the Australian billionaire launched the LMCT+ petrol station with hundreds of his loyal followers turning up to see him in the flesh – and on Monday he clapped back on social media after someone publicly challenged his pricing,

'You pay $240 for the year plus $1 per litre. I pay 0.79c more (and still dropping) for petrol but save $240 a year. How is that giving back to the community? Work out $240 times thousands of people, you all just made him rich there,' one person sniped about Portelli's business model.

However, Portelli was having none of it and quickly challenged their claims, stating his business offered great savings for everyone. 

'You're actually stupid. Even saving 20c a litre at 50L per week, you're saving $520 per year. Not to mention a standard fuel saver is $99 per year. Shut your mouth and stop spitting s**t,' Portelli clapped back.

He added that he had big business plans for the future and that his club members would continue to save money with him. 

'People are actually genuinely stupid. People are that brainwashed they choose not to see what's sitting right in front of them, then they complain about the cost of living,' he sniped.

'Just wait till I open up more sites, car washes, gyms and supermarkets. Sign up, stand by my side and I'll work for you or be left behind. It's as simple as that.'

On Wednesday night, Portelli officially opened the first of his chain of  stations.

Several devotees of the luxury vehicle enthusiast showed up in their own muscle cars, with drivers filling the road, revving their engines and doing burnouts outside the brand-new service station.

At one point, security was forced to chase off a driver idling at a green traffic light, revving his engine and blocking the road. 

Although petrol was not yet available for sale, those in attendance lined up instead for the food on offer, with Daily Mail hearing complaints of long waits and frustrated, hungry attendees.

Portelli was mobbed by fans for several hours at the event, which culminated in one of his infamous giveaways of a jaw-dropping $1 million.

The 37-year-old announced his petrol pump venture as part of an extension to LMCT+, his subscription-based rewards club, in December 2025.
