Hi all have noticed, the price of petrol has increased to around same price as Diesel, this is for the cheapest ULP & E10, but PULP 95 & 98 way higher than Diesel.
but i know things will be changing again soon. just us Diesel owners can recover our extra costs quicker now. i'm close to 70,000k in three years now & happy.
but this is only important in a Forum full of Tight arse's LOL 
Love you all, but the diesel drivers all smell i know 
cheers

John loves us, isn't that nice. 

I hadn't noticed any smell, does anyone else.

I try to avoid diesel drivers - after I've been within a few feet of one I have to throw all my clothes into the washing machine and have a shower!   

Petrol still about 5p cheaper per litre than diesel over here in UK. Have they put up taxes on petrol in Aus ??

we start to smell like diesel mechanic's LOL
phil you have been in the com my too much lately

[Lakes]

  Diablo,  like Rusty say's we need to wait, but.
they never lower tax's, & no matter what they say b4 an election …. they very rarely remove unpopular tax's, they might freeze them, but they don't remove them.
 but at one time we had very cheap fuel prices that cheap no one knew or worried how much per gallon , it was dirt cheap.

ps. but i prefer the smell of diesel burning in the morning ( from my i30 CRDi ) to the smell unload cars make on start up on a cold morning! ( that's a discusting smell )
we all need to ride pushy's to avoid it! 
cheers

I have noticed Diesel being relatively cheaper but still not cheaper than petrol. I suspect it is due to the end of the Northern hemisphere winter and reduced demand. I think the price will rise again in about 6 months

[Dazzler]

In Tassie they just raise the Diesel price when the unleaded price goes up. Diesel has been (at most stations) 5 to 8 Cpl dearer than 91 unleaded as long as I can remember. (Well since not long after we got our CRDi in 2008, as when we got that it was about 5 cpl less than unleaded)

Obviously doesn't worry we now that we don't have a Diesel, but makes me a bit less likely to get another one.

Why Dazz, you know that per litre you can go further on Diesel than petrol, so the price difference cancels itself out.

The price difference down here means I can go as far (in my Hybrid) on $10 of unleaded as I could on $10 of Diesel in my FD CRDi. (5.7 L/100kms V 5.4 L/100kms in the i30.)

Diesel and unleaded here in Newcastle are the same price at the moment. $1.599

[Doggie 1]

When I bought my FD in 2009, diesel was cheaper than petrol in Perth.
But that didn't last long and it's been dearer ever since. 

[Just Rick]

Not sure where your buying your fuel,but our diesel is still 4 to 8 cents dearer than unleaded,diesel should be far cheaper than petrol,the refining process is far less than unleaded,but as diesel is the most used fuel,not only fuel companies,but governments are using it as a cash cow.

[Bushy]

Yesterday when I was driving around locally, I noticed that diesel at most stations was around $1.51 while unleaded was around $1.54.    This is probably unusual.....

[Dazzler]

I will check when I go out later but our price in Devonport has been around 1.599 or 1.609 for 91 unleaded and around 1.67.9 for Diesel for ages (many months) we don't get the weekly or even monthly fluctuations of most other States.

We buy most of our fuel at Woolworths garages so get 4c off those prices.. There are a couple of discount garages out of town that match the Woolies prices at the bowser without a shopper docket. Like I said, I'll check when I go out shortly but unlikely to have changed much if any (so Diesel owners getting fleeced down here) 

[Surferdude]

On the Sunshine Coast today, ULP is between 1.509 and 1.549
Diesel is from 1.569 to 1.589

[Dazzler]

Just checked our local fuel watch (postcode 7310)

Almost exactly the prices I quoted (Diesel still around 8c dearer)

[Doggie 1]

Still dearer here.
I usually pay @ 1.639

[Bushy]

Just been out, and things change in 24 hours.  ULP is now 1.51 while diesel is 1.54 to 1.55.  So reverse of yesterday.  You do wonder what has changed when fuel does that.....

[Doggie 1]

I'll have to recheck over here. 

[Just Rick]

Still dearer here.

Holy Cow,where do you buy your fuel,so I can steer clear of that road side robbery house

[Doggie 1]

I buy BP or Caltex usually. I try to stay away from the cheapies.

That's good to hear, John....

I have been a bit surprised when you've commented previously on the i30's lack of dirt road finesse as I always thought it was quite reasonable.

[Just Rick]

I buy from  BP (Privately owned) paying $1.56 $1.57,if I go to Caltex in Kewdale or Forrestdale Vortex $1.60
