Actually I like living where there is no 98

also means no traffic jams nor a high police presence nor car crime nor people and we run to our own time

so if the choice was 98 and all of the above or 95 and what I have then i will take what I have every time

Again but this time in English....

Well I felt violated at the price I had to pay for 98 in Greymouth ( atleast they had it ) filled up in CHCH cost 182.9

then had to top up in greymouth and payed 210.9 , almost 30c difference.

Fuel prices are a joke!

And, don't think the government cares... every time the fuel price goes up, that's more revenue in the coffers for overseas trips with the mistress...or rent for a larger mansion.

And, don't be too hard on the service stations either, a lot are privately owned and they make the smallest margin (maybe 2-5c per litre) of everyone who has their noses in the trough (one of the largest being our government)...

To compare, most small shops buy soft drink in bulk (when it's on special from supermarkets), or at a low trade price from wholesalers and then bang on $1-$1.5 profit for a 1.5L...

By those standards, service station owners are practically giving fuel away...

privatly owned gas stations use the petrol as a way of getting people in store to buy chocolate bars, pies and drinks, I used to manage a petrol station and standard markup on fuel was 3c/L.

So, as i say, it's not their fault the price is hiked out of all proportion...

There's actually nothing wrong with running 95, so long as you don't thrash the car with high boost on. I tend to thrash my car with high boost, so i run 98.

If i didn't boost over say, 1 bar, and didn't go over say, 6000rpm, i could happily run 95, and save some money. But i didn't buy a GTB, and drop a built sti/gtb engine in, so i could nana it. If i cared for economy so much, i wouldn't own this car. So bring on the good stuff ;D
