$1.67 - that's just ludicrous.
Luckily I had the patience to wait for 10 mins to get petrol at Costco on Friday for $1.36

The difference between shopping around for power prices, and filling a tank of petrol is I HAVE to fill up each fortnight. I don't have to shop around for power.
Given I have to fill up the tank anyway, it makes sense to do it at the bottom of the cycle rather than at the top.
$0.20 / l, on 50l every fortnight = $260 at the end of the year.
Sure, not a lot to write home about, but given it was no extra work, just changing WHEN the work is done, it makes sense to try and get it right.

Being on the road for work most days assists me in predicting the cycle. For a V6 ute, it burns on average 2L more per 100km than my previous car so I normally don't let the tank get below half.Trader wrote:Booney wrote:I've never understood the fixation people have on fuel prices.

That's my point, sweating the small things when we don't look into the big things seems, well, silly.

I couldn’t be arsed worrying about saving a few cent per litre.
I know people who spend an hour and probably 5 litres of fuel driving around to look for cheaper petrol.
Waste of time.
