NSWP Posted March 19, 2021 #2607 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I dont go chasing cheap petrol, like wine, you have to have it. Some people go 20km to save a couple of cents a litre, costs them $10 to get to the cheap servo. Down here today i paid $1.50 for 95, ⛽️ is always pricey down here.

Docker123 Posted March 19, 2021 #2609 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Around here, unleaded reached 163 about 3 weeks ago. Whenever the last spike was. We have one station which is usually somewhat cheaper. I filled up there at 118. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted March 19, 2021 #2612 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Petrol here in the ACT is generally around $1.30-$1.40 but head west for 2 hours to Cowra and such and it is only $1.10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted March 19, 2021 #2613 Share Posted March 19, 2021 And Easter is just around the corner so watch for a big spike in the next week or two. Or buy a Hybrid and only put petrol in every couple of weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted March 19, 2021 #2616 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Going to be a damp Saturday. Not too bad down here currently, the odd heavy shower and 5 metre seas. The Golden Slipper @ Rosehill is postponed. Likewise my golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the little old ladies down here who never drive out of town or they might be on a restricted licence only fill up their little cars 🚗 every 6 months. We have a few in our Probus club and in my street like that, lucky if they do 20km a week. Edited March 19, 2021 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it Les went to Lismore and back (about 2000k) used a tank of petrol, and each fill is only 55 Lt. We have had at least one SUV for about 20 yrs now a CRV, a couple of Lexus, and now the Rav 4.. Mrs G has to either go down the highway with Semis up her clacker or dodge Roos on the back roads and I much rather her do it in a SUV than a tiny hatch.

getting older slowly Posted March 19, 2021 #2622 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Gosh I remember petrol was about 40 cents a gallon, and going to to the servo fill her up and quart of oil in engine please.... funny the big car is the most economical at 9 litres per 100km where as the suv is about 10 litres.... not doing that many km over the last year ( odd..lol ) so tend to fill up when needed...

I am happy with my Nissan Quashqai, 8 lit/100km around here and 6.5 on a country run, I drive steady. Has a 65 litre tank, but I can brim it to 70 litres, so range of 1000km. Always use 95 or 98 petrol. Edited March 19, 2021 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is just a SWB 1.5 diesel to cart my wheelchair around, need to upgrade soon, would like LWB with second set of seats, also really need reversing camera and auto as the body keeps falling apart.
