sdav: Switched to gull recently. Always cheaper than bp with a discount.

As a side note, does anyone use a smart phone app to keep track of fuel prices or how efficient your car is (if you don't already have it built in)?

I use Waze (www.waze.com), a community driven navigation application that also has fuel prices updated in real time by other users. You can easily see the cheapest gas station either around your current location, or on route to your destination.

Available for Android, Iphone and Windows phone.

Doesn't go nicely with my old cars :)
Not good with the rubber piping. It tends to gum up parts quickly if it sits too long. Clogged up some injectors in a car i had. My mates and i stay away from it as rule of thumb.

Ahhh... so what you actual meant was that it doesn't work for you in your situation?

Ethanol in fuel cleans your fuel system, what this means in older cars that have had years of dirty, crap filled fuel, is that it dislodges all the crap, and that crap works through your fuel system until it gets burnt with the fuel or stuck somewhere.

Gull Force 10 is my first choice (I do have a late model car), 2nd choice is BP 98, then Mobil 98 then, if i have to, the smallest amount of whatever 95 (Z if i had a choice) to get me to some 98.

For mobile app i use "MY CAR" on Windows Phone - you can track multiple vehicles and backup/restore to OneDrive so easy to shift between phones.

old3eyes: 1. What petrol station do you use   = Zzzzzz
2. Why? (Price, services i.e. car wash, location, customer service. )  = They have eftpos at the pump.  No queing up with the gas thieves and coffee drinkers anymore..

if they are thieves they wont be queuing up , they will just take off with their vehicles ;) 

Yeah but the gas stations treat everyone as a fuel thief..

I don't think pak n save's fuel is quick or easy, I especially dislike their self pay system. But maybe it's better if you've agreed to the covenant... :P
