Yesterday morning drove past 7 Eleven Liverpool, price was $1.459/L for E10 (I think). Came back from work in the evening, price went up to $1.59/L :angry:

7 Eleven (Mobil) Liverpool; Tuesday, 22 July 2013

E10: 1.599

95: 1.709

98: 1.759

141.9 sunday.

161.9 today.

20c hike in 1 hit.

Thanks for the extra data guys, I've updated the graphs on the first page.

And here's some more summaries:

Average margin by brand

cheapest and most expensive

It's interesting that the margin varies by price and location....so if you feel like you are taken advantage of because of where you live.....you are....

The thread I locked yesterday started as a recommendation of where to get bolt on spacer and had become an argument about whether time attack is racing, it was nowhere near on topic and was becoming a meaningless argument and likely to lead to personal attacks.

If you don't like a forum with discussions that stay on topic and don't get personal, go somewhere else.

Why derail other threads by arguing about locked threads?

Duncan, I did a fair bit on research a few years back, similar to what you where doing. It was more focused on the $AU vs Crude Price Vs my local station price

If can find my old HDD i'll get it to you, see if its relevant.

Also log the actual prices, not just board differences if you are gonna keep this up.

That chart echoes comments that I heard years ago - people bash the servos for price gouging but in reality they rely on people buying a pie/choccy milk/Mars bar/copy of Melons Monthly to actually get by.

Yes, the price of a coke at servo's fluctuates just like petrol does (Less regularly though).

It's also a major reason as to why coles, woolies and 7-11 are in the stations now.

I understand the price fluctuations.

but 20c in one day, to come down again?

this is what I think is a little ridiculous.

I certainly don't disagree with you, but we are talking about resellers. How they price in order to make their margin is at their discretion and according to that chart their margin is two fifths of three tenths of nothing - if their cost price goes up you can bet that the pump price will follow suit immediately, and the 2-3 day price spikes might be the only time during the week that they "make" money from petrol sales.

My 2 biggest complaints are that GST is calculated using the excise. Therefore tax on a tax.

And they say that price hikes are caused of the AUS dollar. They go up the day following the weakening of the dollar, but when the $ get stronger, the price comes down over a week+ time period.

Does anyone use this site? http://motormouth.com.au/pricesearch.aspx

Interesting stuff there. Doesn't cover all servos but I hit about 1/2 dozen round my post code.

They also have iPhone and Android apps for $3. Might be worth it if you save that in 1 or 2 trips.

Since my last post here the cost has gone up about 20 cents across the board. Payed 176 per litre at the Caltex on pitt street. Woolworths and Coles should both be removed from the game. I feel this has more to do with their scams at offering 20 cents off fuel when you spend $100 in their stores. Coincidentally that's how much fuel has risen.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
