yeah, it should have been cheaper. needless to say, i worked for an independently owned station, where government legislation was more of an "option" than "mandatory". :)

hahahahaha, you just made me think. when the 10% ethanol blend came to QLD, the servo that i was working at was one of the first 6 or so to get it. the price was the same for the ethanol blend as it was for regular 91 unblended. a customer came in one day and said, "Isn't there meant to be no tax on the ethanol blend, so it should be about 8c cheaper?" i had to stifle my laughter and tell him that government tax is somewhat higher than 8cpl.

They may have been thinking of the 8cpl subsidy the QLD govt used to do. In practise however, the servos in QLD pretty much set the prices about the same as other states and pocketed the extra 8cpl.

You're obviously referring to govt excise, which is much higher as you said.

I'm a bit twisted.

Today the servo price billboard had no prices so I stopped and went in.

"Because you are making such big profits, petrol is free today"

I am still going to where she told me, but its getting very hot.

You are a very mature, thoughtful and insightful person Hugh.

Oil companies and governments don't like you. :blink:

Is the P-P-P-P going to underpin its platform by advocating the removal of speed humps (- and put chicanes in instead)?

We know what heavy braking, alternating with changing down and accelerating does to fuel consumption. :sick:

Bloody petrol!

I need shares in the stuff as I'm current burning 18L per 100km ...

Hi

My beef with the price changing is.

They get a tanker in at the start of the week say and haven’t sold all of it by the end of the week why does the fuel price change from mid week to weekend. Isn’t that like price gouging shouldn’t the price stay the same until all of the first tanker has been sold on.

Think of the cheap price during the week as when petrol is on sale.

Fill up then and pat yourself on the back.

No one bitches about happy hour at the pub...

      R34 GT-R Positive Battery Cable Routing

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT. I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors? How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis? Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.

      R34 squeaking sound from passenger front area

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Stock less likely to carry one like that than urethane, but still can, especially if the bolts are not as tight as they should be. If it's making that much noise you should be able to use a hose as a stethoscope> stick one end in your ear, crouch down and wave it around the various possible noise makers and get someone to lift the front end at the guard lip.

      Broken actuator rod. Could be one of a couple of them broken. Or, it's locked and the central locking actuator is broken/stuck or the actuator rods between it, the lock and the key barrel are jammed or broken similarly. You'll probably need a locksmith/mechanic who is experienced with using slim tools to reach down next to the window glass to manipulate the mechanism. That's assuming that it is not so severely jammed/broken that nothing useful will move.
