Price of Petrol

[medic455]

Just filled my pride and joy up from empty, that's 90 liters. Now for the bit that realy hurts, 96 octane is $1.29 per liter :cry: :cry: :cry:

and 91 is not much better, $1.24

Diesel is around $0.80 a liter, Im not exactly sure as by the time I read to the bottom of the sign my vision is blurred(tears :cry: :cry: :cry: )

Just wondering what the prices are like in the different states ???????

[Mick-Kelly]

I can tell you that its $1.19 for full strength in Burketown.
You could run it on beer for less.
cheers

Hi Medic style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif
Well the prices in Qld are subsidised by the state govt to the tune of 8cents a ltre so that eases it a bit, currently at my local shell unleaded (91oct) is 95.5 was 98.9 on Sat morning, Super unleaded is normally 6cents dearer, the prices vary, down on Monday-Tuesday then up we go Wed, Thurs, Friday ,Sat ,particualy in the city or large towns, I run my 2a GS on unleaded, no additive, and the head lasted 6years before it burnt a valve, or you could use an additive like "Wynns Valve Guard" 8) Before this latest maddness prices were as low as 82.5 Ltre. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Unleaded is 105.9 here at the moment, although it has been fluctuating a bit recently. Makes the 4c discount dockets worthwile I tell you.

Uk prices are worse from what I hear though style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

Its been pretty steady on 89cpl for unleaded around Maryborough,,

OMG!!!

(this is what happens when you live in the 'north Shore' in Sydney = a bit more expensive than other places in NSW)

But,

I HAD TO (i had left it to the very last drop - then had no choice but to get $5 worth at the local where i was)

it was 'premium'=98% - so a bit more expensive than normal unleaded anyways....but.....

a [size=18]<span style="color:red">WHOPING $1.09</span> per ltr!!!!!!

i could not believe it!!! - and that teaches me a lesson about getting petrol when it is needed and you have got time to make a choice as to which 'cheaper' service station you can get to!

OUCH!! - it really hurt the hip pocket on that one!!

I can be smug. Not only do I have a Defender that delicately sips fuel rather than take big greedy gulps, I have 140L of capacity so I fill up outside peak times and then drive through the high prices for a while!

Made 1100km using 130l, including two intensive offroad days and lots of city driving.

Quite a difference to the petrol Pajero!

[Turtle61]

Oh yes, the cheap antipodean fuel :wink:
Out here (Switzerland) and surrounding Europe (EU) the prices are close to AU$2 per litre. When you start paying 60 odd Euro for a tankfull you begin to wonder...

[bigbugga]

Had a look here today and is as follows

ULP $118.9 cents

LPG 75.9 cents

Hey guys i paid 99.5 Cpl for Diesel at eastern creek. I filled up on 62 litres which got me 690km

correct me if im wrong but that is 11.12km per litre or 8.99 l /100km

on top of that and correct me if im wrong but at 4.545 litres p gal
and 1.6km per mile thats 431miles from 13.64 gal = 31 MPG

so i guess i gotta style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif at that ........................
