National Fuel Prices Feedback

Sometimes you gotta focus on the positive side. My petrol RV6 prado would get 13/100km round town. my new truck, dual cab diesel hilux (2000) nudges just under 10/100km no matter how hard i drive it. I yearn for the days the diesel was cheaper but at 30% more efficient so long as i pick the days diesel like above when it's only 11% more than ULP, I am still 13% in front with the lux. And wow, I should load a picture of the irrigation gear in the back that would have totally buggered up the rear of the prado.

Just persuaded the mother-in-law to buy a Honda Jazz to replace her failing Telstar Ghia. $19,500 drive away auto 5 door hatch. I think with the 1.3L engine that can get 4L/100km on the highway it should hold its value well until the flood of electric cars.

If some noted I put some money (never enough) into LNC shares, I also ought ZZB energy shares cause I thought there was a future with their zinc bromide batteries.Well the shares sort of tanked and moved to the US but I reckon watch that space when they work out how much they can make on producing batteries for electric cars (then of course I'd better buy Zinifex again ....)

This time next year you'll look back and say Geeez ...is that all it cost last May.

Not being an Alcho: how does it compare with the price of Bundy?

Diesel has only just cracked the $1.65 per L up here and ULP is still below the $1.50 per L

Gotta love Queensland ha ha

Go the MAROONS
