145002That hurts now doesn't it? :)

[Homestar]

Yeah. The Hilux took over $110 to fill it yesterday - first time I’ve put more than $100 in it ever.

[DiscoMick]

I recently put $128 of diesel in the Defender.

[djam1]

$341 for full tanks in a Defender here

[cripesamighty]

My last fill in my D3 was 189 Litres....

[AK83]

For ages, I've been fortunate enough to avoid the name brand fuel station luxury tax, and have had a couple of options for cheaper diesel by about 15-20 cpl less than the name brands.

80-ish Lt usually costed about $110 or so.
Got a fright yesterday needing $127 at $151.7 cpl!

[DiscoMick]

Diesel and petrol are both a lot dearer than that here - mid to high 160s. The A$ has fallen.
It actually cost $51 to fill up the little Mazda 2 the other day![bigsad]

Homestar I wanted to like your post but liking something like that news just doesn't seem right :)

How many litres mate?

Yeah, you're right. [emoji16]. Does it sound better if I said it would cost $270 to fill the 101 at the moment? Only problem is it is undergoing some work at the moment so won't be near a petrol pump for a couple of months I should think.

[djam1]

220 litres

I cannot remember the last time I took notice of the price of fuel

[Homestar]

I cannot remember the last time I took notice of the price of fuel

I hear you - I haven't paid for fuel for a daily driver for nearly 20 years but I only noticed it had got so high when the pump clicked over the $100 mark the other day - not something I've seen before.

[123rover50]

Now why is diesel so much dearer than unleaded?
Used to be a lot cheaper as costs a lot less to produce.
Why arnt the earthmovers and farmers complaining?

Demand, more diesels on the road......not enough processing capacity and or storage

Funnily enough, not enough demand used to be their excuse for diesel being dearer! :bat:

I remember pointing out to someone 20-odd years back, that a tank full of fuel then cost more than the monthly repayments were on the first new car I ever owned!

hmmm...


Prepare and save up for the coming holiday season gals & guys :)

(Diesel at Uluru complete with t/t on Tuesday 9 Oct 18)

[grey_ghost]

Oh my. Oh lord. I am planning a trip to Uluru in the 101 in 2020... I better start saving now!!! [emoji15][emoji15]

[Gordie]

Why arnt the earthmovers and farmers complaining?They get about a 38% rebate I think, to counter the 'road tax' component of diesel, plus buying in bulk it is a bit cheaper.

[DAMINK]

I have never paid a single cent for diesel in my life.
Cant even recall ever pumping it into any car i have owned or driven.
Im only 45 though so a spring chicken by all accounts :nazibanned:

[LRJim]

Out Sydney way a few years a go I filled up a 1000ltr fuel trailer. I had 2 pumps going into it pretty funny to see, it took ages. Cost like $1260 ish I wouldn't wanna do it now or in uluru haha. Most I ever paid was like $1.90 In a little town in NSW, the f truck was dedicated gas so I had to get the gas at the town before. It cost about 96c a litre an the truck had 300lts to burn through, not worth having LPG. This was only 2 hours or so west of goulburn so not too far from civization. Had no mobile or TV reception which was awsome!

[DiscoClax]

$194.27 @ 210.8 c/ltr for petrol. Jervois Stn, mid-July this year. I thought that wasn't too bad actually.

But my record is at Mt Dare filling the D1 and six jerries for the crossing in 2014. Can't recall the exact total cost but I know that petrol was around $2.50/ltr and nearly 200 ltrs means not much change from $500... Felt that.

[timax]

I think all of you who have never payed for fuel shouldn't be allowed to comment on the price . Its just rubbing it in to those of us in the real world.[bawl]
Its like those who have never had a mortgage or dont pay rent. Just keep it to yourself and thank yourself lucky.:thumbsdown:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

LPG still at .71cpl on the coast...
:burnrubber::burnrubber::burnrubber:


We used 180 litres for the same trip DiscoClax,, the 200tdi we travelled with used 60.....

[mick88]

I can remember filling my HK Monaro 16 Gallon (72.5 Litre) tank up at 7 cents a litre in Melbourne, back in the mid 1970's when the fuel price wars were going on. We were paying about 11 cents per litre up here in the country, so 7 cents was an incredibly cheap discounted price. Just over $5 to fill the HK.A few years after that the price hikes started and vehicles with V8 engines were cheap as chips to buy. Some people even fitted diesel engines into vehicles like Fairlanes etc. :)As a matter of interest, back then the "average wage" was about $7600 a year and you could buy approx. 84000 litres for that at 9 cents per litre.Today the average wage is about $72000 and you can buy about 43000 litres at $1.65 per litre.Maybe the price of fuel has put the price of fuel up. ;)I wish fuel was still that cheap today.Whereas the price of the average family sedan is about half price in comparison to what it was in relation to average wages. Cheers, Mick.

it will be $3.25 a litre by then... [emoji6]

[Konradical]

Diesel was between $3-3.65 a litre in the communities on the Canning. It was a had to and the nearest alternative option was 700km away. Saying that though, diesel has been at the $1.65 region for a while now here in Katherine. Looking forward to it being slightly cheaper in Adelaide when we get there.

[Aaron IIA]

Good luck with that. Most are around 165~169c/L in Adelaide. Some independents are around 156c/L.

[DiscoMick]

Never paid this much to fill up the little Mazda 2 today.

We used 180 litres for the same trip DiscoClax,, the 200tdi we travelled with used 60.....I used about 160. Still had 20 ltrs in the tank and one jerry rolling into Birdsville. I would have used the full 200 with the stock 3.9, I reckon.

... but 60 ltrs for the 200TDi? Was he towed or siphoning fuel at night...? [emoji14]

Must be my driving[bighmmm]It must be your sensible driving style, I'm lucky to get 500km out of 65+ litres with the work Hilux on straight 94ULP.

It is fully loaded, and the driver is definitely not sensible. [emoji56]

[DiscoMick]

I paid $128 for 70 litres in the Defender. Now it's full I could drive Brisbane-Sydney on a tank (just).
