    Across the ditch Admin the price of the cheap stuff is $1.74
    Diesel is $1.27 but then I have to pay $340 per 10,000 ks.Your prices per lawn are higher over there too.

    Another hike this week to over $1.40/lt. I'm thinking a price rise might be in order for us in the New Year if this keeps up. (It's been a couple of years with no price increase for our regulars, so I think/hope they'll understand)

    Pulled into a service station at Nar Nar Goon Victoria and there was a sign on the pump that the petrol contained no ethanol and it was 1.29 a litre
    Well done

    I was on empty today, drove past where it was $1.38, drove past where it was $1.42,felt real smart when I pulled in and filled the old Datsun at $1.20 a litre .... felt not so smart an hour later leaving the next job when I noticed the guage only showing 2/3 full, stopped and put the fuel cap on like I shoulda done straight after I put the fuel in.... so it really cost me about $1.80 a litre.
