being there's typically a 20-ood cpl difference between 91/e10 and 98 you're both talking the same price.

Well just for comparison here in Singapore the cheapest i've seen is 98 for S$2.59 = A$2.74 and diesel was S$1.83 = A$1.94, depending on which currency converter your using....

Filled up this morning 1am on the way home from work. Diesel 126.9
Car said my tank was 80% full but at that price I squeezed in every last drop I could. The dozen stations before were around 144-154 cpl. Wish I had some Jerry cans with me! Sent from my LG-M700 using Tapatalk

Especially with the initial out lay of a car plus certificates & registration fees I imagine servicing wouldn't be cheap either

Drivers rent the cabs. Also the government would probably make it cheaper as Rego is restricted.

Everything about buying and running a car here is hugely expensive compared to Australia and is out of reach for a lot of people, but the big elephant in the room at the moment is Singapore's ban on introducing new cars after Feb 18, i think it would be 24/7 gridlock if everyone that was old enough to have a licence owned a car..... https://money.cnn.com/2017/10/24/new...mit/index.html Quote:

I'm guessing 98 is going to be 1.90+ soon around here since we get ****ed all the time anyway.
I paid 1.66 last week so made sure to top it up. Apparently Scomo is trying to make a deal to tap US reserves. Jim Molan has been warning about this **** for a long time. What a ****en dumb country we are. |

Still $1.29/L for 91 in Sunbury - means 98 would be around$1.50/L - I got ripped at home.
Might take my Caprice down here to fill it up ![]() |

Pays to shop around. 98 in Melbourne can be had for $1.65 at many servos.

Its older bigger brother in the garage the BFGT is in the naughty corner with no driving privileges til 98 RON gets to @ 1.60 again. At 22L/100 and 1.92 per litre it’s insane....

Nope.
https://www.woodside.com.au/our-busi...rth-west-shelf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_natural_gas We've got a shed-ton of it in very rich deposits. Quote:
What is "expensive, complicated" is a huge array of charging stations, extra demand on the (coal fired) grid, goldplating said grid, capital cost of households buying solar and batteries, then recycling batteries at 7 years. Compare to CNG conversion for existing motors, tanks we have experience with, all current fuel distribution infrastructure in place already, enormous sovereign reserves... Which is better for Oz right now?

To re-fill CNG is much slower. I remember one I knew of where he attached the car to a pump in his own garage & re-filled it overnight. None of the existing LPG infrastructure is suitable. An additional "huge array of charging stations" is what would be required for CNG. I'm a big fan of LPG, I believe Holden & Ford & the Aussie LPG industry did it better than elsewhere in the world & we have heaps of it. Dr Terry |
