Most expensive Diesel in Australia??

Balladonia and Madura are usually high, perhaps higher over Easter.

William Creek ...... was $1.50 per litre for diesel last September!

Lived in Kalumburu in the north Kimberley for 18 months and paid $1.50 /l for diesel. Left there in March 2003. It'd be more expensive now.

was paying $1.50/L in FEB on fraser island at kingfisher. oging back in 3 weeks so will let you know

It was about $1.80 at Well 33 (Kunawarritji) a year ago. Glad to pay it.

Travelled that stretch a couple of times. After the first trip I avoided re-fuelling between Port Hedland and Broome and again until I got to Kununnara. Thank MR Toyota for the great on board fuel capacity (A couple of jerries helped as well). If I had to re-fuel it was usually enough to get me to the next cheaper fuel. I also found driving a little more conservatively made all the difference with fuel consumption. I was towing a trailer with gear on the roof rack and getting 12L/100 km (around 1100 km from the tanks and 2x jerries) doing 100 kph with aircon on using the cruise.

The road houses in these places have the un-initiated over a barrel. You should ask if they take shop-a-dockets for 4c off...love to see the reaction. I suppose diesel being the same price as ULP in these places makes me feel better...

I guess a $1.50/L in Roper Bar isn't so bad afterall...

I am quite happy to pay high prices for Diesel in places that it takes some effort to get to, but not on a main highway where places either side are up to 20c/litre cheaper! Anywhere that a truck needs to travel on a dirt road to deliver the fuel is fair enough!

i was in London last week. ULP was GBP1.01/ltr = aud$2.45. Maybe we should not be complaining hey.

i always give nanutarra a big miss ever since they charged me 14 dollars for 2 toasted ham and cheese sandwiches and a takeaway white coffee 3 years ago. ya learn as you go. cheers sparra.

Fuel prices aside, Nanutarra got me offside when they took advantage of cyclone damage back in the late 90's to close off the previously popular, free campsite beside the Nanutarra River. Now overnighters have to pay to stay at the lousy roadhouse campsite. We do our best to avoid stopping there.

In 2003 we travelled up through the Pilbara to broome, and the diesel was 117.5/L at Auski road house, and I squeeled like a stuck pig when I saw that on the bowser.

I had to laugh today when I passed a service station in metro perth that had diesel at 118.5/L !!

This really p*sses me off. Diesel is a fraction of the cost of ULP to produce. And then there's all the taxes. Oh TAXES, don't get me started.

Here in Exmouth ULP is $1.33/L and Dieso is $1.35/L, as for Nanutarra it is a bloody rip off, the reason we pay high prices is distance from North West Coastal Highway, yet Nanutarra is on the damn highway, certainly doesnt make sense.

Lajamanu - July last year. $1.83 / L
