Thanks Tom,

I take it from your post that you need to be a member of Costco to get fuel there?

I heard that the Caltex down the road has been forced to drop it's price to compete with Costco! I havent been out there to check it out though, busy with useless bloody xmas catch-ups.

Thanks for the tip mate ..

Confirmation on supplier would be good. Google search found Mobil and Shell??? But unsure.

Having had issues with Caltex in the past and at the time not realizing that 98 fuels aint 98 fuels, (much like oils) I would be very wary.

I'm going to email costco to find out.

What do you mean about 98 and oils not being what they claim? I was thinking it would be more about how old the fuel is?

Apparently 98 doesn't mean 98 always. I read a paper somewhere where they tested all of the suppliers 98 fuel and some were as low as 96. If memory serves BP was the highest and most consistent. Hence I've only ever used them for 98

What people don't understand in Canberra is that there's not much competition so prices go up,plus factor in transport from the nearest pipeline or shore. basic economics. Fuel is probably sold I'm this state at 100%+ profit. That's why the servo next door reduced their price not that they run at a loss at all.

And if you look at the oil price per barrel from UAE they have dropped hence cheaper fuel. F*?n E85 hasn't dropped though!!

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
