It's a servo... they all do it by the litre

Lol next time I go to BP I'm gonna request 2 barrels thanks :laugh:

Or a cup full

Thank you for pointing it out that it's a servo. Didn't realise it was from the discussion here.

Servo pumps usually have a minimum delivery, though I can't think how much off hand.

But yes. You know just how much you're being ripped off when you see how much a company can afford to discount something. No company will sell something at a loss unless it's a very specific promotion. Gives a very good indication of markup percentage on various goods and services when you see them on sale. They'd still be making a tiny profit on their discounted rate. dream boats.

I've put around 4 tankfuls of the costco 98 octane through my 1gz-gte without any issues, including driving interstate, up mountains and in high temperatures with the a/c on (sometimes up mountains and high temps with a/c at the same time). Also it's running through a slushbox so often low rpm/high load conditions. If it were going to ping it would have done so.

Still not gonna put it in the GTR tho...

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!!

E85 won't drop very much as its 85% ethanol (Alcohol)... Not much of it is made from oil...

If oil halves, and lets pretend fuel prices halve, and fuel was at say $1.50 per litre you would expect ethanol to drop 11 cents... compared to your normal fuel that has gone from $1.50 to $0.75.

I believe that Caltex supplies Costco as the trucks I've seen delivering there are JLP contract and they are or were contracted to Caltex Clyde Refinery in Sydney and the Ampol at Botany delivering to most NSW Servo's.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
