Diesel price around Sydney.

[neil]

Not sure if anyone has got the stuff cheaper lately but purchased diesel
last night for $150.9 at the Mobile on the corner of Epping and Waterloo Rd
North Ryde? Macquarie Park?(near the M2 turnoff)

Noticed they have been selling around 3 cents cheaper than anywhere else
the last month and a half.

BP up the road on Pacific Hwy selling the stuff for $1.66 the last few weeks. Maybe this is why its always empty.

i only use bp and havent filled up in a couple weeks but it seems to be getting cheaper. i saw around 1.50something at a bp yesterday.

Speedway on Cox's Road, North Ryde has it for 149.9.

Mobil on Parramatta Road in Auburn has it for 149.9.

On the Hume Highway heading towards Liverpool just after the Mecano Set there's a petrol station called... something starting with E, its a green place. They've got diesel for 148.9 and Biodiesel for 146.9.

Average price on Mid-North Coast of NSW still around $1.63/$1.66 litre as of yesterday - anti-competitive resale price maintenance is alive and thriving .

This morning's exchange rate has just given another reason to increase the price once more .

1.559 in Fairfield...

Have been using bp mostly but when they are charging 6 to 10 cents more
you feel you are being ripped off.
Have been trialling the mobile for a month now and don't seem to see any
difference in fuel consumption, no black smoke and power the same.

Diesel on Central coast is 159.9 and at caltex on freeway which is normally the
dearest is at 155.9

Has any noticed the cheap driveaway deals on Citroen C4 diesel $25990 down from $32990
They are blaming the price difference between the two fuels and nobody buying diesels.

The local Mobil servo near home in Nowra NSW South Coast for the first time in nearly 12 months diesel $152.9 and wait for it unleaded $154.9 Up until the last few weeks diesel has been at least 15 - up to 30 cents p/l dearer in some servos than unleaded. I won't hold my breath on it staying that way though.

[GoLfMan]

i just got it today for $1.49/L

[greygolf8]

Diesel $1.48 at BP Summer Hill on sat.

I noticed when filling, that there is a tiny little hole in plastic surround that drains any spillage. I tried to look underneath but couldnt see. Does the tube go all the way down or does it drip onto the suspension ?

[Mofo]

Filled up yesterday for the first time with BP ultimate diesel 148.9
Saw my local Woolies/Caltex the other day with both unleaded and diesel at 145.9, today the unleaded was 136.9 and poor old diesel was still 145.9
Funny how we've become conditioned to accept fuel at 1.40, or thereabouts, as reasonable even though the cost of oil is at it's lowest point in the last year or more!

Goes to a pipe and back in the filler neck. No need to waste a drop

Even though Diesel is cheaper to make than petrol.

[gldgti]

Not according to this guy (from the recent BP fuel experts forum about BP Ultimate diesel )

Garry Whitfield says:
Diesel is more highly refined than petrol with less sulphur and better energy content so it is more expensive

I think it much more about what the market will bear and maximising profits

[Mischa]

better energy content? is that a joke? is this guy actually an expert?
