Melbourne, Australia: Mobil Oil Australia Pty Ltd ("Mobil"), a subsidiary of ExxonMobil, announced today that it has signed an agreement for the sale of its retail fuels business comprising 302 company owned or leased service stations, primarily located in the metropolitan areas of eastern Australia, to Caltex Australia ("Caltex"). Completion of the sale is subject to regulatory clearance.

The sale covers the company Strasburger Enterprises (Properties) Pty Ltd ("SEP"), which operates Mobil's metropolitan retail network in Australia.

"By selling Mobil's retail business as a going concern we are endeavouring to preserve jobs for most of those employed in this business," said Mobil's Fuels Director, Paul Rea.

The sale does not include any other part of ExxonMobil's Australian operations. Mobil will continue to compete in the supply, terminaling and wholesale marketing of fuels products in Australia, as well as with its lubricants, petroleum specialties, refining and chemicals businesses.

"The Australian retail fuels market is highly competitive and challenging," said Mr. Rea. "Mobil is now a relatively small participant in that sector of the market following the extensive rationalisation of its company owned service station network over the last few years.”

The proposed transaction does not affect ExxonMobil's oil and gas production operations in Australia, which continue to be an important part of ExxonMobil’s global portfolio.

Mobil fuel hasn't been Mobil for ages anyway, right? Just re-branded BP or Caltex fuel.

Toyota would have just rounded the tank size to 60L, plus you also have the fuel filler neck, that can hold a bit of juice.

i dont understand.

is their anyway to get your fuel tank fixed.

mine has a 70 litre tank and i can never put more than 45 litre's in.

after about 450 k's the fuel light comes on and i chuck in 40 liters until i can't fill it no more.

i am very very worried about running out of fuel.

is their anyway to get the fuel light to come on in lets say, the last 10 liters?

Aren't those like 55 litre tanks? Even if it were a 60 litre tank and you filled it up to filling point, you would have had to have a just about empty tank. My filler neck only holds about 1.5 litres at the most, so that is starting to look a bit strange. Same servo? Maybe you have a tank that got over inflated in the blow mould.

I think it's as a safety margin thing, just in case you are stuck on a highway or something. The funny thing is, many people realise the margin that is present, but don't really care too much about adjusting it. For the others, they may never even realise that they still have a bit of fuel left in the tank.

There's not simple way I can think of adjusting it to come on later except for either adjusting the fuel tank float, or modifying the signal that the gauge receives. Personally, I don't care too much. I just wait till it says empty then drive for another 50km or so.

Its all about waiting for the right day (cheapest, tightest day of course) to fill up!

:P :P :P :P :P :P

Recession hit hard :(

Prior to this, I did like 59.49L.

61.02L is still my best record.

Mobil in NSW has been selling caltex fuel for years, so not big change.

Also, the fuel tank is designed to hold 60 litres, but in reality it holds more. Its called ullage, look it up.

Just like if you buy a 20 litre jerry can, it holds almost 25 litres really

Enough of your techno babble. There is a big conspiracy where the servos rip us off, didn't you get the memo?

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
