Local Petrol Prices

[Mr-Toy33]

With the cost of petrol going up and up more by the week, I thought this thread may come in handy for the majority of us as we pay anywhere between 8 to 12c more then those who use unleaded petrol these days.

So, with the purpose of this thread, if you see cheap petrol anywhere either on the way home from work, family or friends place, etc, post up where you saw the price and how much and when. Will help us all to know where to get petrol cheaper if we are within that area and want to fill up or willing to drive the distance for a bit of cheaper fuel in our own area.

Servo: (e.g - BP or Shell)

Suburb: (e.g - Springwood, Mt Gravatt)

Price: (e.g - 113.9c) (Would be best to advise the advertised price of unleaded)

Time & Date: (e.g - 14/06/06 11am or 8pm)

Of course, there is also www.motormouth.com.au but a more live and up to date thread would be more usefull then the site which is updated once every 6+ hours a day.

or.. www.motormouth.com.au

I don't think people are going to update this every hour just to save like $3 on a full tank with a 5c/L variance. Come on...brain on

John you always come up with the wildest ideas for threads !

flame on!

[dangerous_daveo]

2 things. Which servo has fuel at $1.13?

2nd thing. 11 months to my birthday today!

John you always come up with the wildest ideas for threads !

anythings worth a shot.

i know petrol prices were around the 137c mark for unleaded last week and I was told by a friend who lives in Springwood that fuel was 122c down there for unleaded. Anna and I went for a drive down there on the Wednesday night to fuel up and paid 132c for BP ultimate.

And yeah, it might be saving $3. In the end, it could be $50 or $100 saved by the end of the year instead of the giving it to the rip off fuel companies we buy our fuel from.

[predator]

but you probably paid more than $5 driving down there to save $5!

that's the stupid thing about the whole "get the lowest petrol prices" thing.. if you go out of your way to go get this "cheap price" you're negating the savings anyhow by spending money driving there!

[dangerous_daveo]

That and running your tank dry to get there isnt a good idea.

[Mr-Toy33]

there is nothin to say that someone could also make a post about cheap fuel being in the next suburb over either.

e.g - you could live in springwood and someone finds cheaper petrol in rochedale which is like a few mins drive.

143c/ltr up here..........

EDIT:

Admittadly the price doesnt fluctuate up here as wildly as it does down there, but still Ultamite/Optimax hovers between 145c/ltr and 155c/ltr..........

[DOU33]

hmm, ok lets drive futher and use more fuel to get cheaper fuel

great idea

[Mr-Toy33]

hrmmm

i can see people really aren't seeing the point in what i previously said in regards to fuel being cheaper in the next suburb over or whatever.

Mods, this can be closed if need be.

Atleast it was an idea that may of helped others.

Shame some people did not want to see the real point in the thread.

if you cant afford to fuel your skyline, sell it.

just like everyone else does.

[hayden49]

If it is one thing i have learnt its petrol prices = rape and there is nothing to be done about it.

the gubbermint is making to much money out of it to bother subsidising it, bleh i have had to many beers and dont understabnd anything.

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

lol... BP at kallangur, always seems atleast 15c more per litre than anywhere else,

same with the BP in lawnton, always atleast 10c more per litre than the servo over the road'?

I am going to try to make my own 'bio-unleaded' petrol in my garage.

Aparently you can store up to 200L of ethanol on a residential premesis!

I propose my prices to be 50C/litre....only problem is...the octane rating is only 65 so you have to put in 10 octane boosters to get the full effect. Mass production begins in 2010.....anyone interested?

[Oblivion]

I didnt look at fuel today.....prob about 130 as usual around here....stupid USA

[jmac]

Simple, just buy on a Tuesday... usually the cheapest day of the week in Brisbane and works out fine for me cos I do almost exactly a tankful (400km) a week. I guess if you're really enthusiastic and use more than a tank per week you could get a couple of 20L cans and fill them up on a Tuesday too.

I just pay attention to all the BPs on the way to/from work and pick the cheapest one I see on the way home... sometimes the difference is as much as 7-8c/litre.

Just doing that's worth about $200-300 a year by my dodgy maths.

[impact_blue]

I don't think the idea of this thread was so you can go way out of your way to save 2c/L. The idea was to let other qld'ers know what prices you have seen in your everyday travels, so people residing in that particular area know what to look out for!

and lovin' your dodgy maths jmac

136.9c/ltr for normal unleaded here in rocky this morning.
