ULP up at 145.9 & Premium at 161.9 !!!
Feb 26^th, 2011 at 8:44pm

The local BP (British Pollution) servo had ULP at $145.9, and 95 Premium at 156.9 and 98 Premium at 161.9 !!!

any dipsticks still want to argue the merits of electric cars versus fossil fool clunkers ??

maybe when you have to fill up at those prices you'll start to have second thoughts about spending over 100 bucks each time you fill up your old clunker

LOL

How much does it cost to power an electric car to get 200Kms???

Today BP at Tugun was 147.9 unleaded and 164.9 premium, I run on LPG which is about 67.9 on The Gold Coast.

I agree that yes petrol is getting too expensive for those on lower incomes, I''d hate to be married with kids paying rent and filling up a car every 4-5 days

How do ppl manage????

ask a peron on less than $15000 per year..

trouble is eletricity is coal powered unless they charge electric cars. without using electricity.. havent seen too many electric car power stations going up.. I am sure rusty has.. but shouldnt they be preparing for this evolution of the car industry.

I mean I have this vision of everyone carrying extention cords and I am sure its not like that at all..lol.. gawd I hope not.

as it is us pensioners wont be able to afford either.. and bikes...ummmmmmm I dont think so..lol.. fast wheelchairs maybe.

you charge the car up at home when you are a sleep and you don't have to pay anywhere near the ripoff pump prices even with electricity going up in price. Install public charging stations and charge the car up while you at work. Install a rooftop PV solar array in your house and you can bring your total costs down to next to nothing, otherwise keep paying through the nose at pump if that's what you like to do so much.

But where are the electric cars ?? Nowhere to be seen of course Sad

This dude can build an EV in his own garage but Holden and Ford can't !!

My wife uses more petrol than me running errands for our house and both our parents businesses, but gee Im glad a tank of fuel lasts about 6 or so weeks in my car. Im glad my days of 40,000kms a year a gone as we continue to get raped by petrol prices.

The sooner we start turning our coal into fuel the better.

WORLDS FASTEST street legal ELECTRIC CAR

Quote:

fastest street legal ELECTRIC CAR 1972 Datsun 1200 Whtie Zombie. Only about 15% of the energy from the fuel you put in your tank gets used to move your car down the road or run useful accessories, such as air conditioning. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and driveline inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous. With an Electric Car it costs just $1.00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at $20.00 per 100kms.@@@EVs use between 1/6th and 1/10th the energy of a comparable ICE powered car.This car is based in Oregon... there are something like 18 hydro electric power plants in that state!Datsun 1200 EV Specs:Motor - Hi Torque Electric 'Siamese 8' Series Wound DC Dual Armature 8 inchController - Zilla Z2K EHV 2000 AmpBattery - 60x 16 Ah Hawker Enersys 'Genesis' Lead-Acid 360 VoltsFinal Drive ratio - 4.11 : 1Weight - 2,450 Pounds (1,113 Kilograms)
