After seeing this thread I thought I better go fill up before Easter. It was 108.9 with the woolies 4c discount, A lot of people were doing the same thing the line up was out on to the road .

Damn Mexicans get all the breaks.

One weekend I'm happy to take the bus for the interstate trip.

[prydey]

who cares!! if it goes up 20c/l its only an average of about an extra $10/week depending on fuel usage.

i don't buy cheap fuel. its cheap for a reason. bp ultimate all the way.

if it hits $2/litre i'll still drive my car. it guzzles too as its a v8 but i don't mind. it sounds good and it goes good.


el poochino - off topic, but i noticed in your sig you say 1 of 39 built for the xr wagon. i'm guessing thats for red ones. there were 476 wagons all up, 198 of which were manual. i had one.

[Ives]

130.9c per litre for BP Ultimate (Just filled up).

[turbo4me]

Over here in NZ it is $1.69 for ultimate without the 4c Woolies discount.

[Silver Ghia]

Just filled up for the weekend at $1.17, minus 4 cent Coles voucher = $1.13 per litre.

[tankclare]

around here the average is like $1.30 then goes up more for easter so i'm geussing around the $1.40 - $1.50 mark.................that's the problem living in country areas i suppose

[HOON69]

1.11 - 4c voucher
92 litre tank all is good

here in S.E.Qld monday-wednesday best option for cheap fuel
thursday friday rip offs ae us saturday sunday they vary between cheap and a rirt.

mines full, though my trip requires a top off along the way home :P

Tehran timed their capture of british sailors perfectly, did they not???? Damn market speculation.

[McobraR]

Was 1.11 with the 4c off at my woolworths petrol station (Prestons, NSW). Was too full so i just drove by. Will probably be real high by the time i get back at 6:30

But I dont get the 'hoo haas' about double demerit points. Just drive on the speed limit as you do every single day and you're fine. :eclipsee_

Spot on. 39 sounds more special than 198 :

[HOON69]

1.26L at one servo and less then 400m fuel was 1.10L

will def go up tonight though as some servo's are already doing.

[Gabbs]

Pulp is 124.9 around my area and to be honest even if it goes up by 10 cents its an extra 7 bucks a tank its not exactly going to bust the bank account.

[DJM83]

137.9 for BP premium here (not ultimate)

[savagE]

$113.9 regular ULP.

yes BBQ fuel! (tm)
i sorta need it, well i drive a shitbox EA (that isnt mine) to work, 5 days/week i do 150km's a day (traveling to and from work) fill up twice a week. If i drove my ED which isnt on BBQ Fuel, it would cost me $120, which isnt worth it cause its like 1/4 of my pay!

[GK351]

just filled up 125.9 cents/l for diesel on kingsgrove rd sydney.

[TURBOTAXI]

Last weekend I drove 460k in the XR6T for $29.

I am glad I am not paying for the dinosaur blood. I use dino-farts.

[jaydee]

Well gas has shot up about 30% here in Perth.
Maybe we should all get together with our mates and boycott a particular brand for a couple of weeks, this will hurt them and cause them to ring down their prices and the others will follow suit to keep custom.
In Perth there's a particular brand that is usually one of the firts to increas prices.
What do you reckon, I'll kick it off by suggesting a brand but I won't use their name but heres a hint to remember,Boycott Petrol
: : :

[ThoR_]

Perth it hit 1.39 the other day. Its in mid 1.20`s now and just under.

Frigin *** seeing i filled up for 1.02 a few months back

[TheSneakiness]

Fuel went up 9 cents a litre here.

Also read on NineMSN before that 13,000 gas tanks have been recalled...

[Ralliart]

I'd hate to run petrol ... I do a minimum of 150km per day ... but it can rise to 400-500km per day (Sydney metro driving) ... and if i get a country run ... it can turn into 1400-1500km per day.

I'd be broke if i was running petrol.

I just read or siggie. How does the XR like gas injection?

Seems to love it.

The car behaves no differently to a petrol version. Boost up just the same, just as easy to get booked.

I dont know how much it would cost in a petrol verion to do 460k, but with petrol on the rise I am very happy with it.

I have covered 10,000k since 1 Jan 07 and I have had no problems whatsoever.
