Diesel prices!

I know this is not 100% on topic, but last week I drove to Townsville in my VW Jetta TDI, and averaged 4.9l/100km going up and 5.7l/100km round town for a week and 5.0l/100km on way back.
Not bad for a fully loaded car, sitting on around 105km/h on Hwy. Paid $1.66/ltr to fill up in Sarina, and refuelled at Proserpine @ $1.78/ltr.
I know the diesel vs petrol argument to buy a vehicle reigns supreme, but with the size of the car, the comfort and safety and the HUGE boot I feel pretty good about buying it and salary sacrificing means fuel, rego, insurance & services come out of pre-tax income...
Still I am not looking forward to $2.00 a litre which cant be too far away:mad:

I paid $1.65 yesterday at Moorooka, and that's supposedly good now:(

The ACCC are supposedly going to investigate why diesel is now so much higher...can't wait for the non-outcome of that paper toothed tiger:eek:

Cousin came over from Belfast last week, dieso is about $1.45 euro ($2.37 AUD) a litre there at the minute. :o

We could move to Venezuala. Petrol & dieso are about 12c a litre, not sure that'd make up for living there though:D

$1.83 in Adelaide

This one is doing the rounds :D

188.9 p/L!

how do they get away with it? thats 8c/l higher than any surrounding station...

:mad: thank god for the train...

One side of Colac is $1.83 for diesel and the other side is $1.71 ...... 4klms apart :eek: ..... and the higher one is BP :mad:

Loving the fuel prices here at the moment..

Diesel is $1.859 per litre and Petrol is $1.694...

But it does have a nice side effect around this place...

Many of the ferals cant afford to drive any more.:cool:

yeah I 'd say , I catch the trains to work on the weekends now,there is no cheaper option available , it was cheaper for me to drive and park my disco at work before Helstra took away parking from all shift staff on weekends. With scheduled track work on my particular line 2 extra hours of travelling is expected.:(
