Cheap petrol

A couple of petrol stations near me seem to have adopted the low-price,
high-volume business model, and people are queuing up there to buy
petrol at less than $1.60, even to the extent of blocking a lane on the
70km/h road.

Sheesh, guys, if you're that petrol price sensitive, why are you buying
huge gas-guzzling SUVs?

Half your luck, most petrol around here is $2.11, I could drive to
Deception Bay and save $8.00 on a tank full, but it would cost $8.64 in
petrol and an hour of my time round trip so there is no point.

Even with an economical car, if you're passing a servo with cheap
petrol, you'll likely go for it.

Hmmm, 91 Ron has been fairly steady here at $1.82 for many months now.
Even now, in the school holidays, it hasn't ramped up.

Depends on the servo. Some servos I'll bypass even if they are cheaper -
because they are known to sell crappy petrol. I'll also only use high
turnover fuel stops.

So why don't you use *Caltex*? The servo I primarily use has recently
been rebranded as Ampol *from* Caltex. Ampol is, or was, Caltex, but
they had to change because of licencing changes by Chevron??. That said,
I am a bit agnostic on brands and on the last two occasions I have
filled up at a Liberty pump more proximally located.

There is Caltex in WA. They took over one of the independents, after old
Caltex became Ampol. Confused a lot of people.

If there were long queues you wouldn't be seeing me there. I will drop
in to a cheap petrol servo, *if convenient* and I am already passing by,
but I won't go out of my way to hunt out cheap petrol. But then, since I
drive a small 4 cylinder economical runabout, there is simply no need.

Let me take a stab at answering that one: the needs of their ego
(manhood substitutes) are greater than the depths of their wallets. The
number of huge 4x4 utes and SUVs being used *primarily* as shopping
trolleys and school taxis in urban Australia indicate that.

Lots of 4x4 utes up here but most are actually *used* for their intended
purposes. No doubt that's the norm in rural Australia.

On that subject, I happened to see a current model Range Rover the other
day. Unlike the one from a few decades ago, the current model didn't
really suggest suitability for going off road where necessary.

I suppose I could be wrong about that.

I would suggest that the new Range Rover's off-road capability is
somewhat compromised by the need for poseur creature comforts. If you
wanted real off-road capability, the Defender was the vehicle of choice.

I'd prefer the Land Cruiser. If (not when) it broke down, at least you
would be able to get parts in short order. The Rangie? Not so much.

When I lived in Sydney, I'd often see a Range Rover that had 2 stickers
on the rear window. One was the crest of an expensive private boys
school, the other said "Poverty is owning a horse". Had I been living in
poverty, I'd have trashed the thing.

True poverty is owning a racehorse - unless it wins.

LOL, I think that the sticker meant that it costs a lot of money to own
a horse and they will keep you poor:-)

True, they usually come with road tyres from the factory, changing to
more aggressive off road tyres makes a huge difference to off road
capability.

Me too, I've seen lots of off road tests on late model 4WD's including
luxurious looking Range Rovers and they are very capable even on stock
tyres, the electronic wizardry they come with these days makes up for
the lack of grippy tyres.

I think you're confused. Iirc, the 'real' off-roader was the Landrover,
the *Range Rover* was the vehicle responsible for the derogatory term
"Chelsea Tractor". Again, iirc, it didn't even have a low range.

They haven't been suitable for going off-road since forever.

Dear Mr Blithering-Idiot,

Weasel and red herring all you like, but Ms Else's comment is a telling
contradiction.

Speaking of 'Contradiction', it has a werry cwose fwend in Bwumhole
Wictoria called Double-Standard... It'd be you bashing out shedloads of
posts hissing how Toyota buyers are mindless victims of Toyotas' PR
image, but never a peep from you about all the suburban slobs who drool
over the tv ads of Hulksters tearing through the bush at Warp Factor 3
and then rush out to borrow money and buy one. Just how dumb are these
slobs hey Fraudster? Fancy thinking that driving one of these hideous,
dangerous and incredibly impractical shitheaps will magically turn them
into a Real Man. Soooo gullible hey.

Prices have dropped in Melb too, I paid 179cpl for 95 a couple of days ago.
Its more likely that people who drive cheap cars are the ones looking
for the cheapest fuel, they might be low income earners or just cheap as
in MG buyers.
The owners of "huge gas-guzzling SUV's" probably don't care about fuel
costs not that there is all that many of those anyway.
Its incorrect to look at a large vehicle and assume that its a
"gas-guzzling", many would be diesels some of which can be relatively
economical.

Amazing, all the majors at around $1.75 this morning.
which is irrelevant to what petrol prices were here yesterday
Petrol Prices "HERE" yesterday was $1.75 yesterday, and have been around
that price for the last *week*. Prices all over Melbourne have been
around that price. You have selected one servo thats expensive, and
without saying where this servo is, doesnt back your point. No one can
check.

As I said. why you picked the most expensive price
I stated the price in the major servos
which has been shown to be incorrect....

A couple of petrol stations near me seem to have adopted the
low-price, high-volume business model, and people are queuing up
there to buy petrol at less than $1.60, even to the extent of
blocking a lane on the 70km/h road.
Sheesh, guys, if you're that petrol price sensitive, why are you
buying huge gas-guzzling SUVs?
$2.21 a litre here today
where's "here"?
none of your business

$1.75 at plenty of places. Why you've picked out the most
expensive is strange...
all the majors Shell, Ampol, BP, Mobil all at $2.21 yesterday.

some have the mentality that mine is bigger than yours so I'm better or

them in connection with their occupation

Having worked on a lot of new 4x4's an awful lot of people watch those
off-roading infomercial shows and convince themselves they need a 4x4
and all the shit those shows flog seemingly to only ever drop the kids
off at school.

Too many people are just sheep following the herd.
