Thread: Petrol falling, but what about diesel?

Filled up the old man’s 200 series yesterday in Ascot. 122L @1.87. Given I’ve been buying at 2.21 I though that was worth the 7minute drive (even though that probably used 50L in the whale).

Still diesel robbery here,$2.30/L.

$295 to fill up this morningShould last a week hopefully

Petrol is way cheaper.

Company pays so i shouldnt be that worried,then GST comes off.....

Yeah, got me. Most is between high 2.10s and 2.30s in Perth, but these two near the airport have been persistently in the mid to upper 1.80s for over a week now. I’d drive 7ks for a $40 saving again.

Supply company is probably doing all the diesel appliances at the airport as well.

Can remember super being 4.6 c / l when the changeover to metric happened.

The day I bought my RRC I had to put lpg in it and it was 13 c / l.

Around the same time companies like Woodside were signing 30 year supply contracts with Japanese buyers of LNG for 1 cent per litre from memory.

**** I'm old.

When I converted my rrc it was around 15c/l so it was dirt cheap to run.

It was 13c/L when we had our first van changed over,worth every cent in those days,we eventually had all the vans done as they were purchased.

Many were factory fitted injection systems by Toyota and went over 300,000Km without an issue,then the vehicles were replaced.

Today it’s really not viable,and many garages don’t have it anymore which is a nuisance.

As an example,petrol around here is $1.65c/L,with LPG at around $1.20c/L.If you hunt around you may get it at $1.09,but it’s a bit of a drive.
