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.

    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
    • And now the bloody flapper is jammed slightly open. Lazy as all f**k in 3rd-5th (very hard to convince it to make much boost before you run out of revs), but will make 12 psi in 1st, which shouldb't be possible with a 5 psi spring and controller set to <10 psi. Methinks I'm lucky it jammed where it did, rather than fully closed. It's actually a well weird situation. Careful examination of what's happening in the back of that housing when the gearbox comes out and all the other stuff (injectors, AFM retune) is supposed to be done, next week.
    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.
