Hi there. I am about to drive the Nullabor and guess what I'm concerned about fuel prices. Anyone know current diesel prices at
Norseman, Balladonia,
Caiguna, Cocklebiddy, Madura,
Eucla and
Nundroo? Thanks very much

Mate
Up to $2.20 a lt, as far as know, but I could be wrong
Don't even worry about it..
I have the attitude.............. you are gunna need it, so why worry, as there is nothing you can do to avoid paying higher prices.
The only thing you can do is change your driving style a little, to get the most mileage out of your hard earned $ ,,
Try holding your speed at 95 km/hr, this will give you better economy, and if your diesel motor is turbo'd, then let the turbo whistle up on hills, and not kick down on the throttle.
This works a treat !
Cheers
Bucky

Spot on Bucky,If its that much of a concern get out of the 4wd game because its bloody expensive,Always has been and always will be....But people dont think twice about eating takeway,Buying food and drinks from service stations etc etc.

1. You've obviously decided to go on your trip.
2. In order to partake of and complete your trip you will obviously require fuel.
3. With an empty tank and without fuel you will be unable to continue your journey.
4. If you desire to continue your journey then you will HAVE to buy fuel.
5. Under these circumstances, why continue to worry about the price of fuel at the risk of spoiling your trip. Just get out there and enjoy yourselves. Above all keep safe.

Paul,
You'll find that the Shell servo in
Norseman is the cheapest there, only by a cent or so, but it's still cheapest.
Next, avoid Balladonia like the plague.
After that,
Mundrabilla,
Nundroo and
Penong are the cheapest but I believe
Eucla is now matching
Mundrabilla.
These three, M, N & P, are all SAFF outlets (South Australian Farmers Fuel ?? , I think) and while cheapest, be aware that their diesel is 5% bio, just in case you don't like biodiesel.
We are leaving tomorrow to go east as
well. We had planned going to
Hyden then on the dirt to
Norseman but the odds are that road will be rain afected by Monday so we will go via
Coolgardie.
If you see a red Cruiser trayback towing a Trakmaster sing out. We'll be on CH40.
cheers
