ermm.. Ardy used Perth as the cheapest servo

[e36mmm]

Waste of time I reckon considering that we have the 4th cheapest fuel in the world lol. By the way Mobil 98 is cleaner than BP 98 and highly recommend it.. Shell is no.1 for me closely followed by 98 Mobil .

There are 4 listed in Perth. So having to drive into Perth city specially for a top up *may* negate savings

Ahh not that prevalent then. I wish petrol stations did price match/beat like bunnings/officeworks!

haha I don't think we've EVER been 4th. Every country in the Middle East, half of South America, most of Central America, most of the countries in the former USSR, USA and Mexico currently and historically have been generally cheaper than us. That still leaves plenty that are way more expensive. I drove over 35,000km from London to Mongolia last year and holy shit petrol varies ridiculously from country to country!!

Also, you may think it's a waste of time, but this saved ardy $11, so that proves otherwise. If filled up on an average of once every 10 days, that's about $400 a year. That's your rego almost covered.

Here is where I have been mislead and herald sun article was very similar to this. Okay it was in the OECD Not in the world.. apologies..

http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2014/12...her-than-ever/

I come from a European background and after seeing fuel prices arund 2.5 euros a litre or even higher and come back to $1 a litre in australia, I find it funny when people debate petrol prices in the country. The only reason our fuel prices are higher than say a decade ago is because of the australian dollar being low. If you go back to 2008, we were actually paying around $1.30 reports show. You can aways save more fuel or get apps and so forth to save more money but I don't see at a price level where I consider it expensive to make me lead towards using apps. On the other hand for someone who travels a lot, surely it's going to add up.. In general if we had pricey fuel, the country would not be releasing 7 litre limited hsv models. For high usage obviously these apps would come in handy.. it's like that with anything.. im a medium consumer and you may be a high consumer, but it doesn't mean our fuel prices are expensive if you compare to the world.. my original point was an exaggeration I guess of how cheap our fuel is in the OECD group. Thanks for listening..

I see your point. Time is more valuable for me.

You sure spent a lot of effort typing that post. You could have used that time to save $11 hahaha

All good. As I said multiple times, this is not for everyone. Even though my post was excessively long, it can literally take less than two minutes once you've set it up. Two minutes for $10-$15 is a rate of $300-$450 an hour.

Something very valuable I have learnt with my time and money management is that you may not be able to put a proper dollar value on the most precious moments of time, but money sometimes can afford you more of it.

I hear you on European fuel prices! It cost me about the same amount in dollars to cross from the bottom of Spain through Italy as it did to cross from Kazahstan all the way to Siberia!

[e36mmm]

True.. money management is definitely a good thing, especially in our day and age. Are you going to today's meet??

Nope, I drove from Sydney for the last one and we hit a Kangaroo. The car has been off the road since then awaiting assessment and approval and now I'm just waiting on parts

[satz]

where does 7/11 get its fuel? Is it Mobil?

I just use the Petrolspy app and find the cheapest BP or 7/11 near me on days early in the week and fill there.

But she will be totally transformed!
