    an edgy subject at the moment....duno if all states are getting worse? fuel is going up high.....

    now dose evryone use 98 octain in ther z's?

    is it nessery to put 98 in the z...would 95 or 91 b enuff?

    wats the disadvantage's in putting normal unleaded?

    fual today was 1.38 a leter and 1.51 for 98 :(

    heard sumthing about normal unleaded going up to 1.50 a L within the next few weeks....

    yep its going up

    Still cheaper than milk, but now more expensive than coca cola.

    I wonder if we could make an engine run on fizzy drink?

    Unleaded 91 is about $2 /liter in New Zealand, you dont see too many 80's/90's performance cars around there these days.

    WDE 300 Too much is barely enough

    1.38 on Sunny Coast

    Jumped 15 cents in a day...didn't think they could do that.
    At least we'll all be poor together:eek:

    Prices will continue to rise.

    Solutions
    • Sell Z and buy a Hyundai Getz or a Prius
    • Get a second job
    • Suck it up and pay whatever it costs
    :D

    Try living without it ?

    A story on Brisbane TV tonight about some fuel being up to 50% water etc and causing all sorts of problems with vehicles performances.
    Best time to buy fuel is at night when it is not hot and expanded
    Never buy if you see a petrol tanker filling the underground tanks as the fuel is airated and less quantity to the litre
    Most stations have approx. 200 litres of water in their tanks but of course it sits on the bottom and is not used unless the tanks are very empty

    If you think you have received some contaminated fuel in you fill up a small amount of Metholated Spirits poured into your tank will disolve the water instead of taking the tank out to clean.The engine may run a little hairy till all is cleared
    The petrol companies have us by the short and curlies
