The Gas thread.

[horrie hastings]

I’ve never heard it called “gas” here in Australia — it’s always been a petrol station, not a gas station. And we’ve always paid by the litre, not the gallon. That whole “gas per gallon” thing is definitely an American thing, right?

Petrol was sold by the gallon in Australia up to 1974 before changing to litres

I still cannot work out the 7/11's on Anzac Pde Kensington, driving to and from the stadium today, the one opposite Peters was 217.9 and the one on the corner of Todman ave was 159.9, why are the prices so different a couple of 100 metres apart ?

Is 169 really cheap for unleaded? Noticed it yesterday in Western Sydney.

I’ve been paying around $1.70-80 for diesel here over the past few months. Mind you, I only fill up every month or so.

Always around 20 cents per litre more in Bendalong. We pay for convenience as their nearest competition is 30 odd minutes away.

A packet of Spaghetti is $6.
2 litre Milk ranges from $5 to $9.
Case of Pure Blonde Bottles $65
Red Rock Deli Potato Chips $9.


We get a weekly Woollies delivery however you're alway running short on some items.

Nice quiet part of the world there mate, a work friend moved to manyana a few years ago, I went to see him, but there was bugger all phone reception down there so couldn’t get in touch.

He and his family ran a little takeaway there, but not sure if they still do as he was working at the huskisson recycling center last time I spoke to him.

Perhaps Rooster08 and your friend could meet up in Huskinsson RSL He refused my requests of a meet up when we were down that way

Thinking of 08 is he still banned or has he thrown his toys out of his cot and not returned after he got a holiday from here

There's 2 cafes, The Deli Cunjurong and The Hub which has the convenience store attached to it. I know both parties very well.

I've been saying gas for the last 20 years and am now trying to remember to say petrol.

My brother in law couldn't believe I don't know or want to know the cost of petrol. Am I the weird one?

Depends on whether you disregard price because it's a low priority given that in most areas there's only a few cents in it, or whether your financial circumstances are such that you need not consider the price of anything. If either, you're not weird.

I know that you're not keen on diatribes but, you know, whether Libs or Labour (which must have passed the legislation) we are being hard done by re gas considering that we have enormous gas reserves. Sold off to foreign Corporations to our detriment. "Our" being ordinary people - wage earners, people who do track petrol prices. Russia has the second largest gas reserve on the planet and Russians enjoy very cheap gas.
