Lol thats a ****er...Will Holden do the right thing and drop it to 49c...No way...GM are just about gone I beleive even if Barrack gives them the huge grant so they need every cent they can get

[Perana]

110.9 for ULP in town here at the moment, Hopefully will stay similar or less for tomorrow when I can fill up

LPG price hasn't budged though sadly.

[burnz]

this will work in holden's favor, less to reimburse.

[TOM-CAT]

lol, is great to see petrol prices dropping, though i never really notice it haha. always just fill up on 98 when it hits 1/4 tank, on my el now, and even when i had the old school volvo..

[Mr Hardware]

only three and a half years ago, a thread title the same as this would have been met with many angry people...

As soon as petrol passed $1.10 a litre, i instantly said that i was going to give away petrol for good. Nearly three years later and i'm still sticking by my word.

[XR6_661]

It's arond the 1.25 mark up here in Cairns still.

If it drops to the 1.10 mark like it has in a few places. I'm stocking up on it. Buy me some 44 gallon drums.

[Iggypoppin']

117.9 today in adelaide, been dropping all week. ill kill for the day 20 $= 20 ltrs.

and the e10 rubbish some servos flog is going for around 110.9 cos of discounts.

[boss-290]

1.18 with docket here in Vic. (Safeway)

Man, its great, but won't last long.

Fill up your jerry cans people!

[Jason[98.EL]]

Chanel 9 news made the comment that it should be down to $1.00 a ltr before Christmas

[Bobman]

If only they put the price of LPG down back to 30 cents where it was when petrol was around $1 in 2005.

Clowns.

[Bundy]

This also prompts the Q, how long does unleaded or premuim or ultimate/optimax last before it starts to go "off" and is it really worth filling up half a dozen 44's to make it viable if it does drop below a buck?

Any Chemists in here with the right answer, not a bunch of shed stories.

[SeXC]

everyone laughed at me when i said this would happen...............

god damn i love being right.

Dont work the clevo they said. dont buy a rotor they said.

Giggity giggity. I love being right.

[chevypower]

fuel below $1 - 1 week out of 52 in the year - hope it's worth that level of confidence

[SeXC]

its just my excuse i dont really care what the price of fuel is, but im gonna give them crap for the time that i can haha

[DDXR6T]

We had 108.9 in SA today ...

Not a scientist but source from BP said
prem = 3 months
reg = 8 months

Take it how you want.

Same here in Blacktown but it's E10 with the discount docket
Still not sure it will go a buck a litre or under though :O

[Nevermind]

Its still 1.30 ish here in Newcastle. Would love some of those sydney prices.

[fordel]

$1.10 for normal Unleaded in Adelaide atm

[bigdude1011]

Still 121.9 Regular no docket in Canberra, but petrol is still expensive here no matter what price it is elsewhere

Good point mate.

Just imagine if the small print said you had to pay 99cents a litre know matter what the fuel price was.

[bloggs24]

average fuel in dubbo was like 1.30, new united fuel station just opened up at 1.15, now all the others are sticking around 1.20

Will be interesting to see how low prices fall... but then how quickly they'll jump too once the economy is strong!!

fuelwatch.wa.gov.au -----some selling it at 1.23... hell of alot lower than Sydney hey!!

1.23 today, $50 hasn't been able to get me 3/4 of a tank for a lonnnng time

[Perana]

Heh filled up with 98 @ 120.9 yesterday morning, ULP was 109.9.

Last night same servo and quite a few around them were 129.9 for ULP !

This morning it was back to 110.9, trying to take advantage of some who just assumed it was still cheap I guess!

From my experience I've found that Premium stays "fresher" longer than ULP.

ULP seems to go off in a matter of weeks nowdays it seems, and worse in hot weather.

Goes by RON rating if I remeber correctly, so you will still get 8 months out of Premium its just that it wont be considered premuim after 3 months

[Perana]

Yeah I did think of that after I posted actually. But 91 seems to go off real quickly nowdays.

Compared to when we had lead in petrol it would last for years it would seem!

[Ando_Leigh]

How come South Australia Seems to be so much cheaper??

I have come accross at least 10 stations in and around Newcastle that are below 1.30L. Cheapest I saw was Islington 1.22L, Toronto 1.18 (with doc), Cardiff 1.22, Mayfield 1.23, Kotara Wollies 1:18L (doc) etc.

[F6T]

happy (ier) times. lets enjoy it whilst it lasts though. they know how much people will keep shelling out per litre for their freedom in future.
