Fuel Prices

I'm paying Â£1.09 for a litre of Shell Optimax- and thats about â‚¬1.80 at current exchange rate. For one car thats managing roughly 32mpg (the BMW) and one that barely scrapes 21 the way I drive it (the Audi), I might as well sell my kidneys for fuel.

In the morning, it's about 104.9/liter, 1.19/liter for 92 octane...

At night, its around 87-90/liter, and everyone swarms for the stations that time.

Well, my 1979 Mercedes-Benz 240D....it runs on veggie oil. But, around here, we have prices of about $2.39, which is very good.

You might want to get rid of that piece of crap, 25mpg sucks, my sisters car gets 45mpg.

Your sisters car might be a hybrid.

They kick your bumbum worse on a Shell station than at an Esso station?

i usually pay about AUD $1.35 for Boost 98 Octane in my area

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 24 May 2006, 12:02

One raw chemical industry over here invent fuel with 100 octanes!
Its cool, but pay a lot more than normal 95 or 98 only for litlle more power! Hmm... Today is luxury even have a car looking to prices of fuel!

Out here, some gas station had outdated pumps so it put out the gas as a penny a gallon and the idiot reported it and the station had it fixed to 3 dollars and 35 cents or something like that

That's not exactly ground-breaking news. In Aus we've had 100 octane fuel for a fair few months now, and I know they've had it for ages in Britain. Not to mention race fuels . . .

That makes absolutely no fooking sense, whatsoever.

how so, it makes perfect sense, i read on a website, i think it was BP or something, that 102 Octane petrol is available, im pretty sure it said in the UK, either way, if it was true, the price would be horrendous, im not even game enough to see what 100 Octane costs down here, just stick with good ol 98

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 25 May 2006, 17:55

That doesn't make sense because 102 octane would be like 102%.
