Hi All,
Notice the polyglot fuel thieves have , slowly, passed on cheaper petrol prices?
Notice how slow they are on reducing the price of diesel? Cheaper to produce better for the environment but still up to 15 cents a litre dearer than petrol.     Did you think I would leave you crying,

I can go just as fast with 7.

As much as 20c difference around here at the majors! Especially anoying as Caltex have been given an exemption from the low sulpur diesel requirements!

Hi Caver,
You mean Caltex, & therefore Safeway/Woolworths, do not have to use Euro std diesel.  Did you think I would leave you crying,

I have not noticed a problem. I use an independent (usually 10c cheaper than majors) and have not noticed a problem. I got bad batch from another independent once but don't know where the sourced their diesel. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Thanks Caver,
I'll be avoiding the big C for, a while at least.
I've noticed some Ind. are cheaper even with 10c.p.l. off @ Safeway/Woolies. Did you think I would leave you crying,

Support the independents!  but watch for bio-diesel blends.
My independent sources from caltex and no black smoke at all. A lttle light stuff that only shows up at night under hard acceleration (I can't resist dragging off boy racers at the lights sometimes  ) in the headlights of the car I just left at the lights! “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Older boy racers are better. Jaws drop, jealousy increases and curses yelled as the question is asked what the f*#^? How did HE get one of those and look at that grin.  Did you think I would leave you crying,

Couldn't agree more, the price of diesel over petrol is disgusting. I find it hard to understand why they can charge more for diesel when it cost less to distill diesel from crude oil. Their justification about supply and demand is BS, the scientific truth is that diesel has a higher energy density than petrol. That is the only reason I am willing to pay more for diesel other than the fact that I have not bloody alternative.
A relative of mine buys from an independent and they use a biodiesel blend. I asked him what was the difference compared to crude oil diesel, he said performancewise, no difference, slight difference in odour and the colour of biodiesel is more green(or is it yellow?) than the clear colour of crude oil diesel. May start using it when it becomes more common and accepted. '06 Disco 3 TDV6 SE Buckingham Blue

How much is diesel in Australia?
In the UK we are currently paying 83p to 85p per litre.
1 British pound = 2.52319489 Australian dollar today.
This is equivalent to Australians paying 2.15 Aus Dollars per litre.
