Drove to Adelaide for the Cats game, when leaving on Sunday I paid $1.54 per litre. Cheapest I’ve paid in ages! As soon as we crossed the border into Victoria, bam, $2.09 per litre.

Don't worry it has a habit of randomly increasing 40c/L within hours with no explanation, at least in Melbourne anyway

I found myself in a bit of a dilemma 4 weeks ago.
With us building a townhouse with only a small garage Ithe Wife and I decided to buy her something small that'll be easier than the FG to get in and out. We picked her up a nice Mazda 2. This left us with 3 cars and so I decided to advertise the FG. Around this time Diesel hit $2.40l so despite plenty of interest in the FG i decided to withdraw it from sale and use it for my work commute, some 30km each way. I wanted to see how much money I could save over running the Diesel, the reduced kilometers going on the Ranger would be a bonus. The Ranger was costing me around $70pw at the then listed price. The FG owes me the $4k I paid for it plus the new steering rack. To begin with the savings couldnt justify the onroads for the extra car but as unleaded has come down and I'm getting 8l/100 out of the highway commute im now saving around $25pw over what the Ranger would be costing for the same distance. I figure at saving $25pw its covering its rego so I'll keep it for now until the house is built and we no longer have room then relist it for the $5.5k again and let it go. As a bonus I'll put 12000 less k's on the Ranger over the period. |

Since you already have the FG, putting it to work as your commute and saving $25/week is a real bonus and as you say, the reduced kms going on the Ranger is an added bonus. I like stories like this where people figure out what works for them instead of blindly accepting that diesel is always cheaper to run. Plus you get a nice ride in the Falcon which is always pleasing for me. |

Geographical centre?
Centre of Victoria Located around 10km south-south-east of Bendigo, the centre of Victoria might be considered to be on the steps of the Mandurang Uniting Church. No longer in use, the church sits on the site that corresponds with centroid calculations from a number of different organisations, including Geoscience Australia, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE), and the Department of Geospatial Science, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). Location: 36° 51' 15" South, 144° 16' 52" East Position on SJ55-01 Bendigo 1:250 000 and 7724 Bendigo 1:100 000 scale maps.
