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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
