for those in the western suburbs the mobil on port road at welland has petrol (unleaded) at $1.01 cpl......i've just been to a school function & filled up on the way home

it would cost me 1 tanks of fuel to go there and fill up and 1 tank to get home on, down here they all went up with the cycle from what i could see

has been sitting around 104c at Mobil Parafield and Shell Parafield for close to a week

The Caltex/Woolworths at Pooraka and Greenfields are selling it for $1.04 ($1.00 with a voucher). Funny thing is servo's near it are still selling it for $1.13

Yep, I filled up for $1.00 on O.G road yesterday

Lets see 40 Litres to top up at 30 cents off is $12.00.
I'll top up next time I am going past the local servo.

Unfortunately no such savings with diesel Not that I use it has Premium unleaded petrol come down?

why is diesel so much more expensive than unleaded?!? ultimately i don't care as i have a fully maintained work car, however, i do find it interesting...

under $1 a litre with discount voucher at the mobil on port road.

premium is usually 10c dearer then unleaded
so guessing it would be around the $1.10 mark!
for ten extra cents and currently cheaper then the normal price. Almost have to go premium. your car runs better and you get more km's out of it!

haha, i filled up with unleaded yesterday aswell.
In my old car, all it used to run on was premium, think it has had about 1 tank of normal.
get close to 100km more using premium!

$1.13 is the best down south

Diesel used to be less refined hence cheaper but now due to new standards, has to be 'cleaner' meaning less sulphur, etc so the refining process is more than it used to be.

That's the oil industry's line to justify the increased cost ... whether that's a true reflection of reality, well?

Back up to 129c/lt tonight
Massive increase in less than 24 hours

Still 1.04 at Parafield/Mawson Lakes (Salisbury Highway).

Also that independent place across the road from Holdens was about 1.14

Last night I saw prices range for $1.04 ($1.00 with a voucher) at Shell Salisbury East to $1.29 at the Woolworths/Caltex at Pooraka (which jumped from $1.04/$1.00 in 24 hours).

Never seen such a wild range of fuel pricing!

I have.... in Tassie

When I was there last, you'd have one station at $1.10 and the one across the road at $1.25, they don't seem to follow any sort of cycle at all!

Only if the motor is actually designed to benefit from it - otherwise save your money.
[It is mostly determined by the compression ratio.]

I drive a 1998 VT Commodore - would that run better on premium unleaded? At the moment I'm spending about $160 a week on petrol - I go through about two tanks of regular unleaded - and it's just ridiculous.
