New project – Price of fuel

Over this Easter I was thinking about how to complete the transfer of older posts from the other websites to this one (It has been a few years). I’ve been using this BLOG for not just motorcycle posts but other topics that interest me so I guess this is where it should all come?

Today I can announce that my historical ‘Price of petrol’ in Australia posts most will be transferred to this site over the next few weeks. There are plenty of seemingly official industry sources and organisations such as the Australian Institute of Petroleum but they represent oil companies and not the public. No hidden agenda to post my costs, just personal interest to record fuel prices and probably to complain about them. After all if I have to search around for the best fuel price to fill up I might as well tell you all about it too. Also the posts will go under a different name ‘the price of fuel’ since it will probably list diesel and even natural gas prices – if I don’t forget to look.

The list below is the ‘price of petrol’ history from 2008 to 2011 from one of my old websites, which I recorded my average fuel cost over each month. I’ll being posting the 2012 to current year to date as I go over old receipts.

Note that the price list is for 91 Octane unleaded without any claimed additives eg. ethanol or cleaners.
