Nope
Over the weekend the price drops and it goes back up during the day Wednesday. Mobil seem to put their prices up a few hours before everybody else, so if I see their prices are higher than BP I fill up at BP quick

When I used to work in a service station, back in 1988-1995, it used to cost $10 to fill a Kawasaki GPz? 750, and that was with Premium Unleaded

Mike
the pricing on the site changes thru the day
..at least for the servos in my area
In the morning I can drive past one and think..yep cheap
will fill up on the way home
then check the 'yahoo' site at night to find the price is up 10c
and someone else is cheaper
works for me
cheers

Petrol prices worry me not on the bike, really only $2 or so difference between dearest and cheapest, will take note for car though. Uusually do the 4c a litre thing but that saves me like $2 anyways so nothing massive.

nah. i dont pay for car fuel.
as for the bike, i'm will to pay as long as i get mobil 8000 into it.
at the end of the day even if u save 10c per litre in a 60 litre fuel tank, ur gonna save $6 per tank. Which is really fark all these days, even if ur poor.
