I just happened to go to the local servo today to get some mower fuel (91 octane) & that was about $1.53 a litre. The next pump had V-Power (Shell's 98 octane fuel) which I usually use in my Capris. The price was $1.72 a litre ($10 buys you about 6 litres) at which I had to look twice to make sure it was correct. Thankfully, I don't drive very far or use much fuel but at that rate I won't be filling the tanks of the Capris. I usually like to add a bit every couple of weeks to ensure it is not sitting for too long but until the price reduces, it won't be much.
There has been a great deal of press lately about the petrol price rip-offs in Brisbane and this is a good example. It doesn't help owners of classic cars very much. I guess I will be looking for cheaper alternatives to the local Shell. 😔 😒
