How much is fuel where you are ???????????

[PeteyD]

Vikings and alien invasions.

[Jarro]

Price has risen to $1.47/ Ltr here in Brissy

[Grunt]

Wow not that much different to Sydney now up there. Have not hit 1:50 yet

[markTHEblake]

Oil is about to hit the magic $100 a barrel. Mostly cos the USD is at its lowest ever value and you would think that should mean cheaper fuel for us.

heard on the radio petrol will be up 7c next week.

[Jarro]

fair dinkum, this is just getting ridiculous !!!!!!!!!

[Dazza]

$1.46/lt for Unleaded up here.

Worst I've paid... $1.70 for Premium Unleaded at Barkly Homestead, NT.

[Grunt]

Just saw 159.5 here in Sydney and Diesel for 179.9

[jaybam]

How much ???? TOO BLOODY MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Might be time for a scooter or a 250 cc bike Or even an old postie bike that will double as a golf club buggy somehow

[AndyP]

Can we start some more threads to whinge about more aspects of our life? These are great.

How much has the price of eggs gone up lately? It's ****ing shit. I've bought some chickens to try and cut some costs in the long run...

[Webster]

I hope those are Tour Chickens Andyp...

[3oneday]

[virge666]

So the rising cost of fuel isn't a concern in your household then ?

Lucky you, it's certainly hitting my hip pocket hard !

[Grunt]

Was around 160 here in Sydney for normal unleaded.

There's nothing I can do about it. I can't do anything about interest rates either.

$1.75/litre here in Sydney today.

Starting to hurt as I set the car lease up paying $1.50/litre. Lucky the fuel economy the Focus is getting is way better than the estimate calculating fuel use. Sort of offsetting it, will have to see how the statement looks this month.

[sms316]

Unleaded just hit $1.17 a litre around here today

What is your Focus averaging? Im getting low 7's after almost 40,000km in mine. For our next car we were wanting to get something with 7 seats, but there just doesn't seem to be anything on the market that gets reasonable fuel economy and seats 7. I'd consider an LPG conversion on a Ford Territory or something, but who knows where LPG prices will go too....

[v205]

The latest weekly hike went to $1.70 - 1.75 here in Melb and slap on extra $0.10/L for premium too for some cars.

[Jarro]

.... meanwhile the price of oil fell by USD$5 a barrel

BrisVegas, I have a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder, 7 seat, 2.5L, manual TD, I am averaging 8.7l per 100k's. Not bad for a vehicle that weighs in at just over 2 tonne.

The V6 on the other hand needs a tanker following close behind

[PeteyD]

Apparently it went down 5c today up here.

[v205]

8.7L/100km with a 2 tonners.. must be 99% highway driving??

[PeteyD]

We get about 10l/100 km in the diesel.

No not really, through medium traffic to and from work, uses a bit when off road. Very economical engine as I like to get up to the speed limit as fast as I can.
