We generally add 15 cents/L for 98. I pay $1:50 for 98 here in Cairns. we get totally ripped being a "regional" town the toothless organisation called the ACCC surveyed our prices up here and made the ludicrous statement that the signage for cheep fuel needed to be bigger so the punters could identify the cheep places to go. HELLO, there aren't any cheep places to go, there is NO competition up here cos BP is THE fuel distributor here. there is one servo that has cheeper fuel, and its on the road between Cairns and Mareeba, regularly 5 cents cheaper so the punters will stop there instead of fuelling up in Cairns or Mareeba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other supplier seems to vary their prices between stations except BP, which is always spot on for the 6 stations near home & work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just confirmed with insurance - I get a free windscreen each year. Guy is coming Friday to replace. Nothing looks better than new glass to look through 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept them honest as good as I could with a silly undecided 4 speed automatic that really doesn't listen all of the time when using manual mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
