Vortex burns like crazy, thats why it pings.. Bigger boom more heat.

:no:

Seriously, fuel prices are f**ked. These oil sheiks in Saudi Arabia are taking everyone for a ride :P .

Australia has something like the 2nd or 3rd cheapest fuel in the world when compared in relation to the value of the dollar and average weekly earnings, with other countries.

How would you like to live in the UK and pay more in POUNDS STERLING for a litre of fuel than we pay here in dollars?

(p.s- as a side note: at current prices, it's costing around 16c/Kilometre to drive the work car around the Sydney metro area. but that's with a fair bit of A/C usage)

I havent had to buy petrol for 6months!! Last time i bought it was at like 90something cents... lol now i come back on the road in 10 days and i have to pay 150... how depressing is that! lol

Motormouth can tell you where cheap fuel is, but they don't do all servos...

In the Northern Beaches/North Shore area the cheapest is at Caltex/Woolworths at Beacon Hill for $1.479/L (for Vortex 95 anyways) and they do sell 98 there.

The servo I go to in Belrose always has the same price as Beacon Hill, but I'm guessing that would still be a massive detour for yourself lol

Where the hell did you get petrol for 90c 6 months ago? unless it was right after the ACCC investigation... other than that; it hasn't been under $1 in at least 2 years now.

iono... I'll hit up the shell as I leave work, see if they have any... then from there I don't think I pass any others...

GAY!

Doof, if that shell dont have any, ask them to ring the next local shell,saves you driving around.

Make them do the searching for you.

Edited by FATAZZ

I dont even know where the next local shell is! I should be fine for a while... might make it through the weekend maybe...

But still, a good idea :P

It's really kind of annoying too cause my daily got stolen off me cause my mothers car was leaking coolant :D

man i went to fuel up today, every service station i went to didnt have 98 octane only one that had some was BP up at frenchs forest and even that was the last pump that still had any left all the others were empty! 1.44/litre its now 14 cents more than standard ULP, it was like 10 cents more a month ago!

I stopped in 3 Shell station from Liverpool to North Ryde to get V-Power or V-Power racing and all were out... Does anyone know when there will be some petrol. I just got my license back today and had to use Vortex 98... I'd prefer to use V-Power as thats all ive ever used in my car up until today.

So yea, any1 heard anything as to when V-Power will be back?

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
