Go Petrol Prices

The vehicles that will be feeling it the most are the petrol powered SUVs. They are heavier, less aerodynamic and have great big heavy inefficient donks in them.

Yea, I'll let you call my mum names, Im not brave enough to

They may be going slow, but the fuel economy in the 5.7 litre V8 holdens is not bad. They have an alloy block and heads, and are fuel injected. They weigh no more than the V6 model.

$110.00 to fill up the Jeep at the weekend. Only goes 400km on that.

Anyone want to buy it?

Yep. If it wasn't so much damn fun in the mud we'd flick it on.

That looks pretty cool

I know someone who very recently bought himself an old 4.2 litre V12 Jag ! Bet it's got a goodly layer of dust on it by now

Filled up my car in March, still has 3/4 of a tank!
It’s killing the workshop tho, all of the parts outlets are dead as well.
Taking me 20 mins to get to work (bout 30ks) and I'm hardly splitting at all!

It seems here to be getting heavier because we're getting spells of cold weather ...

especially in the rush hour jam up here.. (stupid lights timing that makes traffic back up for blocks between 8 am and 9)

Blocks?
We have tails 20+ k's long on a bad day!
If you get through a set of lights in under 3 phase changes you are doing well...
8-9am? Try 7am-6pm, Come up for a week and try it. I'll loan you my car.

Brent crude prices now down to $US61 per barrel. Our oil companies used $US70 as their excuse to raise prices.
If $US1 per barrel equals a 1 cent rise at our pumps, we should now be paying $1.46 for 91.
Where are the reductions?

I remember being on Queen St one night in the cage.
First car went through with the green.
Second car went through with green and orange.
Third car went through with orange and red.
Sometimes a fourth car would go for it.

Then the other direction has green for ages yet there was no traffic on it.

Scary - the old Series One Landi cost $60 to fill dual tanks when I had it three years ago. You could go anywhere, just not very fast.

Last night filled up the Goose with 96... I had walked in and gave the guy $20 and held my hand out for change, he did the same. He then said $23, I asked him to check he had the right pump, he had. I was stunned. I finally realised how much of an increase this has been.

So I am gonna drink one less beer this week to compensate, or is that one more to compensate so I don't ride as much?
