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

Are we talking 98 Octane or E98?

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!!

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
