I wouldn't get too excited. Petrol will never be "cheap" again. The only question is how expensive will it get? I've heard numbers thrown around by the media ranging from $1.60 to $2.00 per litre by Christmas here in Perth, although I'm inclined to think it will be closer to $1.40 at Christmas time.

yeah thats the problem though. the media and its story spinning. im not saying they'll be the same as they were. just i have seen them decline in the last few weeks if anything.....

and the media said they'd keep rising.....

i was amazed how cheap it was this week end i thought it would have sky rocketed because week end for one and the gp run all the bikers going thru down my way. but it was heaps cheaper than normal

nor unleaded was a 1.19 and ultimate was 1.30 GOLD!! stay like this! or they can keep going down if they like lol.

It is the cheepest time of year you wat till our summer and Northan hemisfer has ther winter we will b F&^44ed i think 70-80% of the worlds population live in the north

Apparently Spring is our worst time for petrol as the northern hemisphere (Especially the US as they use oil to heat buildings)stock piles before their winter begins, Most experts are now saying it will drop or stay around the same for a while.

I pretty much doubt that 80% of people live in the northern part of the world, India and China hold the most population and while China is in the Northern hemi, India is on the Equator. Dont underestimate the South East Asian population cos they have shit load of people compared to Europe or America.

But anyway petrol was 105 cents in July for reg unleaded, 113 for premium... i think premium at Mobile last night was 125, I dont use premium cos the commodore dont need it.

reg unleaded here is 1.18 at the pump. 1.14 with vouchers. havent looked at premium but isnt it supposed to be 10c more?

see what they've done to peoples mind set?

"oooo $1.20, how cheap is that, i better fill up!"

when people were bitching not too long ago about it reaching $1.00. they control people's mind, so now we think its cheap, because we've seen it a lot worse :O

from what i've gathered the price should come down more.

the only reason it's going up is because people are accepting it, all the scare mongering by the media, and the very slow fact that it's starting to get more expensive to extract, not that we're running out, but we're running out of the very easy to extract supplies, the price rises are totally unjustified though, just look at the breakdown of where the cost of a litre goes, almost all the money that it has gone up by, went straight to the petrol companies.

bah, just bring out hydrogen already.

Last tuesday at home here in canberra it was 1.32 for unleaded, and 1.42 for 98 ultimate

I drove 40minutes up the highway to a rural town and it was 1.22 for unleaded and 1.30 for 98... then i got to sydney and it was 1.15 (with voucher) for unleaded, and 1.25 for 98.. how does this work? its total bullshit if you ask me....

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
