Regular Unleaded fuel to be removed from bowsers by July 2012

[Banicks]

Petrol switch to leave 750,000 motorists out of pocket

My VE is 10% capable, but I don't like using the stuff.

Thoughts?

Use premium? It is like $3 more a fill, if things are that tight, sell the car and catch a bus.

[ucwepn]

I have to run premium, sometimes Vpower is like 15c/L more exy, the 8c/L discount shopping dockets are a good help. Bus tickets are almost as expensive a filling up the tank everyweek if you have to take kids to school etc.

Diesel ftw!

Distill your own methenol. Win win.

It's actually 10 - 15 cents per litre mos so for a 60 litre tank, that's between $6 and $9 more per tank. Not huge and I agree with your sentiments.

pfff, does anyone actually use regular unleaded? my 50 year old car doesnt ever sip anything but the best.

[showbags]

Regular unleaded is for torching the next door neighbours cat that keeps walking over your car. Isn't it?

And it will require lead-replacement (95RON) anyway :P any decent factroy car these days is 98RON only.

Didn't know cars could walk. You learn something every day!

Where does it say cars can walk????

[TVR-190]

I haven't seen anywhere that sells regular in years. I thought it was already phased out from the last labor government.

Oh boy. Lucky schools back. I use 98 in my bog stock commodore. Way I see it is this. 10 to 20 bucks more is what a couple meals at maccas. Skip those and it's no different.

[Munz]

Regular unleaded should've been banned years ago.....its a waste of fuel production and with bad fuel economy in cars I haven't touched it for years

[Julie]

We can afford premium and would never touch that ethanol crap but I'm still a bit miffed, I don't see any reason to get rid of it whats the point?

So shell and BP can make more money? Really no reason.

No Commodore or HSV is 98RON only... Are they not "decent" cars?

My thoughts exactly.

But what annoys me, is that 15kms in a circular direction where I live, premium is 20cents dearer than regular. I could understand up to 5cent difference between all 3, but 20 cents is just gouging.

I thought the government were going to start regulating, or was that monitoring?

Yeah that never happened. I like how our fuel subsidy we once had was canned.

[NIXONLS1]

There is other fuel other than 98??

[ari666]

lower emissions from cleaner burning fuel. just another step towards a clearer atomsphere. although passenger vehicles contribute f' all in the grand scheme of things, every little bit helps... i guess.

Fixed it for you.

Not that I know of.

[acarmody]

Well I think its shit, even though I only ever use 98 octane. A lot of people I know won't touch the E10 stuff, but also find it a bit tight to pay the extra $10 a tank for 98, (or in my brother case, about $25 per fill thanks to his 170L Prado fuel tank). What this means is they will always use Coles or Woolworths servos with the dockets. This will cause shit for the small independants and may cause some of them to close. And when that happens watch the Coles and Woolies prices rise more.

[wraith]

Those fuel saver dockets are the biggest farce. The government needs to step in and get rid of that stuff asap.

do a bit of reseasrch into LA during the 80's, and london around in the 50's ( Great Smog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) before you throw another of your retarded opinions at me. both of LA and london were caused by "the global human population" and our use of fossil fuels.

but yeah, i guess youll just throw you bais and poorly educated opinion into the fray as usual and we will all be stupider for having read it.
