    Question Price of gas/petrol?

    What are you currently paying in your neck of the woods?

    Around here the average price is about $0.80CAD per litre. If I do my math(s) correctly, that equates to about $2.65USD per gallon, or £0.35 per litre.

    I paid $1.12/L (44.79p) this morning for 91 RON petrol. 95 RON was at $1.19/L (47.59p)
    Mind you the average wage in Australia from a monetary POV is only £11,000 compared with the UK average of £20,919.

    87? My old car would have pinged like an absolutely bitch on that stuff. Never used to run too well on 92 octane so it was 98 for me!
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    I suspect that what he was getting at is that there's nothing he can really do about what price petrol is. He needs it, and thus has to buy it at whatever price it's on offer at. Fair enough to me.

    Same here. When I did drive a car I'd buy the best petrol I could get for the car rather than looking at price and buying crap petrol It's not like you cha just choose not to buy petrol is it?>

    In my view. It is pointless driving miles just to get cheap petrol because there's chance you may have spend the savings on getting to the cheap petrol.

    Also you can't help it when you run out of petrol.
