yea same here on hallam belgrave rd, mobile 1.54.9 sucks and heard on radio that there is no shortage on crude oil i think the petrol watch dog said that

Edited by BRUNSKIGTST

yeah. oil is nearly 120 a barrel! fuel will be high for a while. hedge your costs and throw some cash at oil search and woodside

the price differential of well positioned petrol stations to unfavourable ones is sometimes quite big too. tuesday is the day

bah should have a post up of for everyone which people see the cheapest petrol price for all areas so we all can get a cheap price which everyone can get to which would be closer to them, i rkn post up the cheapest u seen pplz and where the station is at.

Been paying $1.50+ for Ultimate for months... I drive a performance car, I dont winge about petrol prices.

But the 50%+ government exise(spelling, lol) + gst is always a good reason to hate the government of the day.

i dont mind paying for fuel, all you bums with no jobs might though :cheers:

put it this way, do you buy water in bottles? well u pay $2.50 for a 600m bottle of water, and $1.60 for a whole letre of fuel.

and fuel is more fun that water :)

I was thinking the same thing, maybe we should post a "cheap petrol spotted thread". Anyway lucky our $$ is high against the US market

meh! i noticed the prices skyrocket just after i picked up my GTR!!!

ah well thats the price we pay for the performance we crave.

i usually try not to look at the prices, i just put fuel in the car when its getting low and thats about it.

Maybe the government shouldn't be taxing us about 51 cents for the petrol. If they lower it down to 20 cents of something, it'll be much better for motorists.

You can't blame the government, tax's haven’t risen as far as I'm aware.

Think about it this way. Oil supply has reached its estimated peak demand. What that means is as new hybrid/electric/hydrogen/bio fuels become more popular and more car manufactures start using it the less oil we'll require for motor vehicles. Sure we’ll still need it for plastic manufacturing, asphalt etc but the fuel companies realise we won’t need them so much and they are trying to squeeze EVERY last cent out of us while they can, it’s as simple as that, don’t let that supply/demands bull shit fool you.

Tax on petrol/oil whatever, isnt a set price its a % so of course the amount that the govt takes goes up... but it also goes down when petrol goes down etc. The % rate is rediculously high compared to other developed countries... but why would the govt cut one of their bigger cash cows?

Not sure why but petrol is a fair bit cheaper out here in geelong. Took the train to melbourne yesterday, it was 142 here yesterday and as you said 154ish in melbourne. Geelong wins. On a side note im paying about half the rent i did in melbourne last year for a place 3 times as big. Come join the partay.

well according to shell's own website, petrol at 154.8, the service station is making 16.8c/litre. further the TGP price is $1.38 for ULP. premium is 5c more than ULP. so why do the retailers charge us 10c more for 98 :)

and i thought US and AUS invaded Iraq to make the petrol prices cheaper.... its gone from under a $1/litre to now $1.548/litre. well atleast we are still lot cheaper then UK and Europe prices.

Our oil doesnt come from Iraq, most of it comes from the US and Mexico... then arabia i believe and yes... UK/EU prices are WAY worse then ours, hence so many Deisel cars

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
