hey

I was at BP this morning and the guy told me about BP's fuel discount voucher program they have started (I don't know if it is a promotion or a permanent thing).

It the same idea as the fuel discount on your docket when you go shopping at coles or woolies, except with this you get discount vouchers for shopping at the BP service station. Some of the discounts I saw on the sheet were like

4cents a litre off when you buy two 600ml Cokes

4cents a litre off when you buy 2 V energy drinks

20cents a litre off when you buy a CD.

There were about 8 different things you could buy for the discount.

Unlike the coles and woolies program, BP will let you save up all your discount vouchers so you get a bigger discount off your fuel - possibly even get it for free!!

YAY!!!!!

Sounds like a standard bp rip off. When you think about that if you buy 2 600ml cokes from BP its going to cost you liek $5 and if you bought them from woolies it would be roughly $3 than teh $0.04/ ltr u saved would work out as $2 from a 50 ltr tank.

Still would be worth saving receipts for all teh crud you do buy at petrol stations... hm wonder if u can claim smokes :wave:

I went to BP at Bentley on Saturday and i was chatting to the Attendant about the promotion... Its only running until the 13th of September and its only running in WA as a trial...

But as an example i bought about $81 worth of ultimate and i also bought 2 chocolate bars ($5 for both) to get the 4c discount... In the end it cost me about $81.50 or $82.50, can't remember exactly... So your not really saving money if you do that everytime you fill up, you'll just end up fat... :wave:

Also according to BP, Shell is loosing heaps of money through their deal with Coles Myer, but its Coles Myer which is having to foot the bill for Shell...

The other thing that was mentioned was that BP don't want to "cheapen" their product by having to offer fuel discounts to encourage people to by BP fuels...

This reminds me of the whole "pay at pump" thing they had a few years ago. best thing to ever happen to pumps if you ask me. Teh attendent had less work , shorter lines etc, it was great. Plus hwilw i was at uni and poor as i could empty my card into the tank as the pump would stop when your account hit 0.01.

They got rid of them becuse ppl would pay at pump and not impulse buy any more. Nice 1 BP, if only ure fuel wasnt so nice.

pay at the pump rocked... swipe your card, fill up and you're away. on the weekend the bp shop attendant was pushing me to buy 2 bottles of V instead of just the 1 can that i wanted... so that I would save $4c/lt off the fuel i just put in. simply another bullshit marketing strategy to boost sales. it's only going to 'save' you money if you were planning on purchasing the items in the first placet hat entitle you to discounts. :)

sounds like what we have in sydney with mobile total rip off

$75 for fuel @ $1.5o/ltr for 50 ltrs

4cent off when you buy someting over $5

you do the mass only works out to be $1.87 savings

just buy the fuel not unless you really do need it

the pay at the pump thing was shite, they charged $50 as soon as u swiped - then they charged you for your fuel, then it took 2 - 5days to get your money back - this is what happened to my brother in BP Gt Eastern hwy

sounds like it was a one off f**k up?

with the discount thing, just get your mate that is with you to buy the drinks or the food or the cd so you can save on the fuel, make it like that is their share with the fuel cost. hehehe, going to try get my friend to buy a CD, save 20cents. mwhahahaha

Are we still complaining about fuel prices or are we onto servo attendents now?

We all knew that the fuel was going to go higher in price. This based upon the capitalist money hungry idiots in Sydney. I use to manage a few gulls around the place and we got the prices from over east. They would call us once a day around 4pm with the prices for the next day.

My two cents, keep the fuel guzzling skyline for the crusing, weekend driving and times with the lads and buy one of the new gas/electric cars that VW or Honda are producing (good to pick up the girlfriend for a drive or pick your mum up and go shopping, although you will have to defend your sexuality). May look into getting a delorian i hear they run on garbage.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
