IMO they put the price up last week to make some extra coin. Yeah V8 owners are really getting bent over and moreso if you have a V8 ute

So how much has it gone up too?
I'm moving this weekend to QLD : When I was there 2 weeks ago I enjoyed $1.02 as opposed to the $1.32 I pay here.

you called...... :


fueled up today and old mate tells me last night he pulled about 13k for the night and he usually only does about 5k, apparently everyone was lined out onto the street last night trying to get in before the price went up. But seeing as though I see him a couple times a week to fill up he told me to come in this arvo as they werent putting the price up the same day as everyone else so that was my last cheapish fill :(

Agreed. Mine's lucky to get out on the road once a month.........
At least I'll save more on fuel if I don't drive it as much.

I paid 134.9 for BP Ultimate today Hayden, and Tues Arvo/Wed morn is seen as the 'low point' in the price cycle.

Queensland has finally caught up to the rest of Australia with rego and fuel costs.
Now you all jsut need to embrace daylight saving and the customs clearance to enter and leave can be lifted. It will then just be travelling to another state not another country!

Country Vic is about $100 cheaper than metro and surrounding suburbs. I pay about $560 for metro Vic for my XR.

Last time I checked (a year or two ago), Canberra had the highest disposable income, most free time, and was the least productive Region in Australia. Wonder if it has to do with all those tweed jackets down there?

$135.9 for regular unleaded down the road from me(NSW). Searching on the net the average is about $112.9 for regular fuel in Brisbane! But its still a bugger its gone up from $1.05ish. Did all the other fuels go up as well gas, e10, diesel??
