G'day to those who know me from a while back n g'day to those who don't :)

So being an avid coleman dual fuel user... historically I've used a can of coleman in my northstar lantern and powerhouse stove from time to time, and used unleaded in between.
For some time now, coleman fuel has not been available anywhere in oz, unless you score some old stock somewhere, so been using unleaded for a while, a long while.... and long story short, the sooting is getting a bit bad and I need to change fuels.
I ran a bit of shellite, after reading from a coleman rep that its ok (and basically coleman fuel is shellite with anti corrosion inhibiters added, his words not mine) but a litre cost me $8 for the diggers stuff in Bunnings!! that's a bit much!!
Between my lantern and stove, scoffed that quick smart on a week long camp.. so..

I'm looking for a good supplier of shellite that's not ridiculously priced, so far I've found best deal at blackwoods, $105 for 20ltrs. Anyone better this?

Also I've 'heard' that using premium unleaded doesn't soot.. anyone confirm??

Interested in anyones experiences and constructive comments on what fuels they are running in coleman dual fuel devices.

Cheers ... :) :)
