Heads up.

USA uses PON to measure octane rating, Australia use RON.

Source: Fuel ratings, RON, MON or PON? As you can see American #87 is actually Australian #91 rated.

At the moment due to Christmas rip off by oil companies we are paying around $1.25 91 octane, $1.35 a litre for 95 octane and $1.42 for 97 octane.

Yep, and now you really have to think about your running around ... FREE!

Also, the costs of registering and insuring a vehicle is up, I know I wont travel as far for free quotes anymore ... I suss out over the phone the size of the job first, 1 palm 40 kms away on the other side of traffic jam city is now a pass.

Yes,LPG, but for a by product,Which they produce so much of it they burn what they cant store or sell,It still very dear but it presents as a cheap alternative,Until we all change over then look out!

Same here, diesel sometimes up to $1.55 per litre.

1 US gal = 3.7 litres, 1 imp (British) gal = 4.546 litres

Happy Neww Year to you all.

Just got back from the wet and grey UK.
Visited the rel's in Shropshire.

95 was ?1.01 a litre = $2.00 = $2.28 Au = ?1.37

95 is ?1.35 here in Portugal, only @ 2 pence cheaper than the UK.

Diesel here is @25 cents a litre cheaper than petrol, so still well worth owning a diesel.

It's terrible mate!!!
