Price of petrol yesterday in Adelaide was $1.28 per litre

Today it was $1.44 per litre.

12 months ago it cost $34.00 to fill my car - today it cost $48.00.

*** you must have a small tank, it cost me over 80 bucks the other day to fill my tank, a year ago I could do it for just over 50. And the *** only lasts a week!

We got this little Mazda 2 last year.


Damn you economy conscious people! I'm driving a Magna with 6, great to drive, and not too shabby on the fuel compared to my old '91 Magna with 4 (mainly cos it's engine was near ready to fall out), but *** it still costs with the current fuel pricing.


My old tredly (I'm ashamed to say a dragster) has more acceleration,
and a better top speed, but the M2 is (or was) cheap on fuel for
running around the city.

Even so - you feel like a goose driving it - it is definately no
Shelby Mustang. :)


Neither's mine, but *** it's nice at least being able to take off when you've got a wanker next to you as opposed to my old car where my only option was to ram them or let them overtake and drop back on the speed and block me off!
