What price mobility?

[jonesfam]

I know this subject gets done to death but
I got quite shock this morning when I went to the Roadhouse to fill the wife's Delica & then top up the Disco3.
Diesel was $1.97, a 20c jump in a week!:mad:
Yes, I live in the middle of nowhere & must expect to pay more, yep, fine, but a 20c jump in price in a week? Bloody hell!
I don't know what the price of fuel is in the real world (cities etc.) but do you have such sudden big price rises?
Anyway, almost $200 later for both cars I think I will look at buying 200Lt drums out of the Isa & trucking them up, probably still save a few quid.

Been $1.695 for months here but i know what you mean.

I hear you mate... I had to go down to fill up the work truck today and I was just as shocked. I'm just glad i've only got the one car out here!!

diesel $1.37 in melb

anyone know the the dollar conversion between US and AUS? deisel is $3.95 here right now... :(

I think it's close enough to $ for $ at the moment.

So if I make the assumption that diesel is around that price, $1.37, up & down the East Coast it is .60c to get it to Doomadgee.
Cheaper to post it.:p
I know what it costs to get general dry frieght here from Brisvagus & that is not close to .60c a Kg & I seem to think deisel is slightly less than 1kg a Lt.

anyone know the the dollar conversion between US and AUS? deisel is $3.95 here right now... :( That would be $3.95 a gallon, would it not. I think there are 4.5 litres to the gallon, although I think the US gallon is different than the European gallon, but not by much???:confused:

obviously im not even close to knowing dollar or weights and liquid conversions... :D

lets put it this way, my ute holds 26 US gallons at $3.95 a gallon = $102 US dollars... :o

3.78 litres to a US wet gallon

1.37 X 3.78 = $5.18 per US gallon for diesel her is AUS.

A US gallon is about 3.8 lts IIRC. That means you truck holds abit under 100 lts X $1.37 p/l = A$137.00 to fill it in Brissy and your dollar is close enough to 1:1.

you win

Kinda makes it alright having economical 2.4 to 3.0ltre engines doesn't it. Pat

It varies here from $1.19 to $1.39/lt between Hurstville and Wollongong, that's a 20c varience, I think it's a standard thing they do, one thing we have noticed, is that the Coles/Wollies fuels are the dearest, even with their shopper dockets:twisted:

Happens up here too, but as we live in the middle of nowhere and earn more I am sure there are many that think we should pay more just like everything else such as levies, taxes and food.:p Does get to the point where you may as well be living back in a populated area and earning less.
I have always thought fuel and food should be exactly the same Australia wide, withe the price spread across the board for freight or maybe some gst or tax excise reduction.

[Homestar]

Spare a thought for the Poms. Unleaded is currently about £1.28 per litre, so converting that at about £0.62 for each Aussie dollar, then that makes it about $2.05 per litre. So to fill Meanz06 truck there, is over $200 :eek:

[weeds]

i couldn't tell you what price it is in brisbane.........i never look at the $.$$/L, just fill up, pay and on my way
