Hey guys, has the regular ULP been phased out at some pumps already? I could only find premium 95 and E10 and the premium is so expensive.

95. They will only have 98 as premium, as a guess. |

Between the Northern burbs, right through to the Eastern Burbs and city of good ol' Adelaide, it's still plentiful.
Come to think of it, even right down the Southern burbs of Adelaide it's around in plentiful supply.

ANd this is why I hate The Greens and all environmentalist parties that lack any perspective or understand that the cost to the consumer increases with little schemes such as this...

Funny how back when petrol was 60c a litre back in 1998, nobody cared about the 4c coupons. Now that the prices are higher, people are going batpoop over it. Thing is, 4c off per litre whether its 60c a litre or $1.50 a litre is still only 4c a litre, and the saving total will be the same. I might save myself a couple of dollars, but I cannot be bothered lining up, waiting for others. I buy petrol on Fridays when it seems to be cheaper. That's how I cope.

We still have standard 91 around the Adelaide hills (at least at the petrol stations I've gone to) maybe its more in the city that it changes?

Is this Australia wide?
Here in the West too. I haven't heard anything about ULP being replaced here. |

I know down in Bundaberg a new servo that opened up and it only sells E10.
It's a bit of a worry when a lot of cars can't use E10. My old '82 Celica can't, my mothers 1996 Mazda 121 isn't allowed to use it. The government also totally ignores the fact that ethanol is an energy-negative fuel...it takes more energy to produce it than you get out of the end product. Seeing as how E10 makes your vehicle get worse fuel economy, I also fail to see how deliberately making your car use more fuel is "good for the environment"...

So when/if ever 91RON gets the flick, will 95RON drop in price? And then 98 will drop aswell?
