The petrol price is just a killer.

Guys, any idea why I bring my dewsons receipt into BP, but they say they are not participating?? Can't save 4cents.....

Aniways, for those who do not know, BP is having a promotion "Win free fuel for a year" BP FREE FUEL ENTRY..hurry up, ends sept 20. :unsure:

On my way home from tafe today somewhere in Sth Perth I seen unleaded for $1.28 (ultimate plus 9c $1.37), and then near my house at 2 BP's both were $1.38 ($1.47)!!! How the f**k can BP justify the difference in price?????????

Its 52 $50 fuel vouchers....

$50 wouldnt even fill the tank with ultimate

well yeah not any more anyway.

i thought my fuel economy was getting worse cos i was calculating by the dollar (ie $50 of fuel gets me how many kms)... and i thought wtf, it's getting worse... stupid me got it wrong, it's cos i'm getting less fuel for my buck that's why it's getting worse...

rezz what's japan's prices? last time i went back (dec-04 to feb-05) it was... 129yen per litre? they have great service over there too... :)

Still cheaper than UK and Europe.. I was paying over a quid a liter ($2.39739 /L AUD) for diesel over there - and that was cheaper than petrol.

Anyone think about the wicked GST bonus the govt is getting from these price increases? When fuel was $1.20/L they would have been getting about 12c/L. Now it's $1.50/L they'll be getting 15c/L.

Doesn't sound like much but think that they haven't had to put any effort into this tax increase. Then think why they aren't going to do much about the price increase. Also think that you're actually paying GST on state govt levies.

Now get angry....

I also filled up for that magical 147c/L yesterday, atleast i can say that i set a personal record for money spent on a tank of fuel. Good thing the 31 is fantastic on fuel and i've had a work vehicle for the last 2 weeks or so, i've had a decent run i suppose.

I can only see the price going up from here but :)

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
