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.

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
