Did anyone hear on the news about some oil refinery going up in flames and pushing the price of crude oil up or something? I think I saw a snippet on an ad for the news... But I may have dreamt it...

Yep it just hit or over the $100 barrel mark which they predict is going to rise the petrol prices for a at least 5 weeks or so..

No it's true, I heard it on the radio, in Texas i think it said. From SMH - "A fire on Monday shut Alon USA Energy's 67,000 barrel per day refinery in Big Spring, Texas, and officials said they were expecting to partially restart the plant in about two months."

Also is it just me or has the margin price over normal unleaded for Vortex98, and Ultimate gone up since the shortage of Vpower? I'm sure it used to be always exactly 10c more than than the normal unleaded but for the past month it's always been about 12-15c more? Or has this been happening for a while and I just haven't noticed?

Digging up an old thread today but had to mention Shell is selling V power Racing cheaper and V power Regular.. Still cost an arm and a leg but It was 1 c cheaper .. Weird.

I think it was 1.78 What a rip! Tuesday wasnt even cheap!

Yesterday i drained the tank out of the skyline and put it into my Proton. As the skyline had been sitting there for 6 months, i figure i might as well use the fuel before it goes bad.

And another reason for draining it was i dont want the skyline tuned on fuel that has been sitting in the car for 6 months.

Just saw petrol for $1.70 this is an out of control

the petrol stations have to tell the regulatory bodies the day before what there price will be at 2pm the next day

So always fill up tuesday or before 2pm wednesday

its getting ridiculous but everyone is still paying it no one wants an electric car yet!

my 2c

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
