Oklahoma Wonderful Gas quality

[rocketjohn]

We have a tank farm in Montvale, and there are a bunch of tanks and four or five operators...they all get filled out of the same pipeline. And you may see any given truck coming out of any given operation. I do believe I have seen truck drivers pouring in containers of additive AFTER the truck is full, and that is where the branded additives get put in! By having the tank farm so near...we pay pretty low prices for gas. 1.99 if you look around. 2.09 is as high as you want to go.

Not bad...we are about the same. Have Port Everglades nearby where the tankers unload. I paid $1.97 yesterday. Hey...whats gas cost down under mates?

I wonder if fuel injector cleaner would help any?

 

[Old N' Grumpy]

From the sounds of it he might want to run a fuel additive fairly regularly.

Anywhere from AU$1.10 - AU$1.55 a litre (US$3.15- US$$4.45 a US gallon) currently. Remote or Northern Territory non urban prices can easily be 25% more than that top.

Most gas (called petrol here) is imported from Singapore these days as Australia's aging and decrepit small refineries have run down, closed or been mothballed. Australia has very little stocked reserves - about 20 days maximum, nothing like the mandated requirements in the US. All fuel for road use is taxed twice.

All retail fuel prices in Australia include GST at the rate of 10 per cent (or 1/11th of the total price paid). For unleaded petrol (regular or premium grades) and diesel the price you pay includes Australian Government excise of 38.60 cents per litre (cpl) which is an automatically inflation indexed tax.

Offroad farm and mining use of diesel is exempt from the 38.6 cents excise but still pays the 10% GST.
