The only reason I ask is I see peopel over east saying fuel is so expensive. In my local area (Maddington/Kenwick/Thornlie) in WA my fuel is ranging from 1.04 to 1.10 a litre.
Is fuel still killing budgets over east or what? |

Fuel's dropped off, over here. Was at $1.07 the other night, in my area.
I think they are dropping it for Xmas, then they'll push them up just before or just after, for the holidays. It's good though, if petrol can stay between the $1.10-1.20 it should be manageable for everyone, so you don't have to give up to much just to get around, especially for those V8 Owners.

But for how long should we realistically expect the price to stay this low for? I reckoin thid is a lead up to larger price in petrol. I just hope i'm wrong, and if I am, I will be thanking our Almighty Lord.

$ 1.18 a litre of so for ULP
$ 1.23 a litre of so for 95 ron and 1.28 a litre or so for 98 ron This is on the central coast, NSW. I find it a lot more manageable than the 1.30 a litre prices that we did have. But i still find it a ripoff compared to Brisbane and Melbourne.

Filled up last night with BP Ultimate in downtown BrisVegas at $1.20/litre - for the grand total of $65 to fill the tank... pity a full tank only lasts me around 4 days. :(

$1.17/L for Vortex 98, but then I also get the Woolies staff discount, so I only paid $1.13/L, which was the same price as the ULP at the same time.

I "had" to fill up the other day at $0.599/L for LPG. It definitely needs to drop again ... when i started using LPG just over 6 months ago ... LPG was always under $0.50/L Still I am happy that I don't have to fill the Territory ... my fiancee gets that job seeing as she drives it. I'd hate to pay current ULP prices ... YUCK

Yesterday at singleton ULP was 122.9 & I paid 133.9 for vortex 98. Sometimes it sucks having an 82l tank in the Pursuit especially with my driving around town. Good on fuel on the highway tho..

Yesterday we got petrol for $1.09 per litre in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, it usually hovers around the $1.20 through the week and gets slighty cheaper at the weekends.

$1.25 for vortex 98
does anyone else find that caltex is usually cheaper than everywhere else? the one i go it is usually 5 cents lower than any other servo i see that day. the shell near by wanted 1.30 something for optimax. i wont travel very far to save a 5 or so cents a litre but these servos are only 200m apart at the most.

I find that Tuesday and Wednesdays are the cheap days for all fuel ... what about others .. I think this was brought up in another thread as well. Might be an idea to keep a look out for that and fill on those days (if possible)

Every time I see him "ahh, filled up the navara again. must suck paying for fuel". One day i will have my starcard dammit. one day... Here in Maryborough I frequent the local woolworths/caltex servo. Even without the discount they are basically the cheapest in town and they happen to be easy to access and have effecient service. Price was $1.11 for ULP today when i filled up (without discount)

I live in the Alice. BP Ultimate was $1.55 a couple of days ago. Fuel paid for by boss certainly helps!
