So working on the assumption that your TDi Disco gets, let's say 12l/100kms, your Road User Charges, add 25c to each of the 12 litres for 100kms, making the effective diesel price NZ$2.04. As the NZ/AU exchange rate is currently NZ$1.245=AU$1, your Diesel is AU$1.64.

You're right, that does sound cheap!

$1.905 here today, and the same at Wellington.

We're about to go tripping to the gulf and western side of the cape. I expect the average to be well over $2 pl :(

Just to make you all feel better (not) I spoke to one of my cousins who works in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) and they are paying 30 cents a litre.

Thats insane.

Otown is 185.9, Yetholme is 184.9, North Richmond is 179.9

Shell:
Lithgow 184.9
Mudgee 185.9
Yetholme 182.9
Bathurst 185.9
Orange 185.4
Wellington 191.9
Dubbo 188.0
Cobar 187.9
Broken Hill 184.9

Currently heading west, the most expensive diesel is at Wellington of all places!

Check this website out. I've just come across it, and it will tell you the fuel prices for every shell service station in Aus, and an interesting comparison.

probably because they have at least a few hundred thousand litres and they probably paid 1/3 of the current price for it :)... a tidy little earner!

Until they need to resupply the fuel. Perhaps they're really getting rid of it before it ages too much.

Another website that covers every fuel company servo, but only in the Metro areas, is MotorMouth.

But get this: MotorMouth has been around for quite a few years now, but about 5 years ago the website's name was FuelWatch.com! Kinda eerie, de ja vu feeling, or what?

Yeah, but the diesel pump for the shell is sitting down by the punt and its nice Murray River diesel they are selling you. Thats why its cheap.
