With the cost of petrol going up and up more by the week, I thought this thread may come in handy for the majority of us as we pay anywhere between 8 to 12c more then those who use unleaded petrol these days.

So, with the purpose of this thread, if you see cheap petrol anywhere either on the way home from work, family or friends place, etc, post up where you saw the price and how much and when. Will help us all to know where to get petrol cheaper if we are within that area and want to fill up or willing to drive the distance for a bit of cheaper fuel in our own area.

Servo: (e.g - BP or Shell)

Suburb: (e.g - Springwood, Mt Gravatt)

Price: (e.g - 113.9c) (Would be best to advise the advertised price of unleaded)

Time & Date: (e.g - 14/06/06 11am or 8pm)

Of course, there is also www.motormouth.com.au but a more live and up to date thread would be more usefull then the site which is updated once every 6+ hours a day.

John you always come up with the wildest ideas for threads ! ;):dry::P

flame on!

anythings worth a shot.

i know petrol prices were around the 137c mark for unleaded last week and I was told by a friend who lives in Springwood that fuel was 122c down there for unleaded. Anna and I went for a drive down there on the Wednesday night to fuel up and paid 132c for BP ultimate.

And yeah, it might be saving $3. In the end, it could be $50 or $100 saved by the end of the year instead of the giving it to the rip off fuel companies we buy our fuel from.

but you probably paid more than $5 driving down there to save $5!

that's the stupid thing about the whole "get the lowest petrol prices" thing.. if you go out of your way to go get this "cheap price" you're negating the savings anyhow by spending money driving there!

hrmmm

i can see people really aren't seeing the point in what i previously said in regards to fuel being cheaper in the next suburb over or whatever.

Mods, this can be closed if need be.

Atleast it was an idea that may of helped others.

Shame some people did not want to see the real point in the thread.

I am going to try to make my own 'bio-unleaded' petrol in my garage.

Aparently you can store up to 200L of ethanol on a residential premesis!

I propose my prices to be 50C/litre....only problem is...the octane rating is only 65 so you have to put in 10 octane boosters to get the full effect. Mass production begins in 2010.....anyone interested?

Simple, just buy on a Tuesday... usually the cheapest day of the week in Brisbane and works out fine for me cos I do almost exactly a tankful (400km) a week. I guess if you're really enthusiastic and use more than a tank per week you could get a couple of 20L cans and fill them up on a Tuesday too.

I just pay attention to all the BPs on the way to/from work and pick the cheapest one I see on the way home... sometimes the difference is as much as 7-8c/litre.

Just doing that's worth about $200-300 a year by my dodgy maths.

I don't think the idea of this thread was so you can go way out of your way to save 2c/L. The idea was to let other qld'ers know what prices you have seen in your everyday travels, so people residing in that particular area know what to look out for!

and lovin' your dodgy maths jmac :thumbsup:

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
