How are the prices for fuel where you are.  In gods own New Zealand we are now paying $ 1.58 a litre for premium.  Roughly I think that works out to be about, $ 3.75 us per gallon.  The B12 runs on 91 octane and the best price for that is $1.52 per litre.  Man is it geting tough to keep the wheels turning.

I run desiel vehicles for day to day use and it now costs $ 1.17 per litre. :crybaby:

Without any unplanned trips It is costing us $250.oo nz for 2 weeks travel costs, you know work and back, drop off and pick kids up from school.

Am I being anal or is everybody else finding it tough going paying these inflated fuel prices.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts.   :thanks:


No mate your not being anal.
We aint as ripped off as much as you guys across the trench, but not too far behind @ $1.36 per litre, for premium.
And yes its hurts the budget, running our own courier van business, thank christ we only clock up 140k's per day. but still thats a $150 per week. If we where doing point to point add hock couriering clocking up 400 k's plus a day we would go broke. As much as I hate LPG the van is getting converted this weekend.
Foot loose and fancy free.
