Todays Petrol Price!

[DarKZer0]

wat the news say could be true tho, meaning the oil-peak hasnt started affecting just yet since the price per barrel is much lower then per gas however they could be bullshitting too.

Hmmm... depressing.

Let's go start a self sufficient commune. Or something

[Blitz]

wat a fu(ken stupid comment!!

what else would you expect from the forum nazi

Another magnificent retort from you John, what a surprise

As for my "Dont like it, sell your car" comment, its true.

There is not a damn thing any of us can do about the rising prices, hell I have avery petrol hungry car as do you and most of us on this forum but there is little use in bitching about it, its not going to change anything, and while paying through the nose for fuel at the moment is a killer on the wallet, we dont have a choice

Makes me glad I havent driven my car much in the last few months

[rukus]

yes....a new type of gas injector was actually trialled in a r33 gts-t....no probs for 2 years....and higher octane than petrol too

really? where do i sign up?

[Beer Baron]

yep, that was my point if you really don't paying it like it find other ways to travel. i catch the train to work every day. I drive my car when i feel like it. my car gets about 20 litres per hundred k's. which is pretty poor, but it makes me smile everytime i get in it and even more so at 8250rpm on the limiter. like i said on page one it's worth every cent. yes petrol could be cheaper, but it could be a damn sight more expensive too. I say suck it up and enjoy your car while you still can affordably. life is too short.

ANyone checked the price of petrol in Europe lately - We have it lucky !

[Abo Bob]

What I find annoying is that ordinary unleaded costs $1.26.6 at the Shell terminal gate right now and Optimax costs $130.15 and yet at the bowser Optimax cost 8-10 cents a litre more than regular unleaded.

I guess they don't sell as much of it so in order to maintain GP they hike the price up - Costs the same to ship and have big tank full of it at the Servo, but if they don't move as much they may as well sell more volume of the fast moving stuff and make more $$. This would mean no Premium.

I'd do the same if I owned a Servo.

I think the reason premium difference is more expensive at the actual servo is because it doesnt sell as much per quantity, as only us turbo freaks really buy it.

We are lucky petrol is not as expensive as in europe/britian. Although their public transport systems are far superior to ours.

European cars come with smaller capacity engines and a large % are diesel. I saw a 5th gear episode the other day and compared a new Golf GTI v's new Golf GTI TD. The TD worked out cheaper if you drove a minimum of 100000 miles.

Because of these petrol prices the public transport system will come under more stress and the government will have to increase services and increase fairs. Its a nice circle.

Another end result of these petrol prices will be an increase in the amount of cars being sold. Prices will drop even futher. Great if your buying but not if your selling

I agree and I disagree. I agree because like you I don't normally drive my car daily for a number of reasons (security, cost, its general habit of breaking, and the hassle of every dick annoying you) but when I do it give me a real kick and I don't mind paying for that. But that is a convenience I enjoy because I have a reasonable well off family with excess cars, inner city housing, and enough disposable income to waste it on toys like GT-Rs.

On the other hand, its the families who live out woop woop with poor access to public transport (as opposed to access to the poor public transport like us inner city folks ) why rely on their cars and don't have much disposable income at the best of times.

Regardless, I don't agree with the whole "cut the tax" argument that seems so popular for various reasons I could bang on about if so provoked

i couldnt see the governments letting first class countries like aus/america/europe/japan etc running out of power, they would always have a back up plan, if australia was running out of oil we would do something about it.. ie running out of water in syd building a water refinery to replenish supplies, if worst came to worst, they would start using nuclear power or something

Ahhh phuck

Elbee thats nuckin futs

I have officially just given my car it's first tank of Regular Unleaded. It doesn't need 98 Octane, and I'm not paying $1.49 for it just because.

Non-performance cars = teh win!
