[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

how much was ultimate?

[180Roman]

it was an independent retailer, untill there is more of them, big companies are just not going to try to compete as they know that there is only a couple of do-gooders stations and thousands of big corporate stations. Outnumbered

[lukebaldan]

Hell no!

On the news it appeared to be 91 + ethanol. Not putting that shit in my car.

As far as i know they didn't have dissies (Discounts) on premium

Nice! A colleague of mine drove his 4WD from Melb -> London late last year. most he paid for diesel was around $3 per litre. Cheapest was 1.8c a litre in Iran. And that's NOT a typo! He filled up for AU$3.

..Now who's making a sh!tload of cash between there and here??

He must've filled up at a refinery or something. The cheapest petrol in the world is generally regarded to be in Venezuela, where the govt heavily subsidises the petrol (thinks it's around AU3-4c/L)... so much so that it is a huge drain on the economy. Sierra Leone's petrol is like AU$5/L, which is just plain scary.

Possible, if there is some sort of ship capable of taking his car from the top of oz to Indo/PNG OR to Singapore, something like that. Once you're at the bottom of s.e. asia, you can drive the whole way. Tunnel under the English Channel or you could take a ferry from mainland europe to England.

think paris to dhakar, just a little further

It's quite funny when these stupid western suburbs servo operators do this because all they are doing is losing money on every single tank of fuel, yeah... that will show those oil giants who is boss!

I think they are well aware that they are losing money with each tank, but it's only for an hour once in a blue moon, and the operator wanted to send a message. And publicity you couldn't buy.

[benm]

Why do servo's need publicity? When you are out of fuel you have no choice but to fill up.

The only message the operate will be sending the oil giants is "send me another tanker full of petrol"

He saw a Vic registered 4WD in London 30-odd yrs ago and always wanted to drive there. Obviously ferries assisted him between land masses.
