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.

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!

Prior to this, I did like 59.49L.

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

      200 series won’t shift past 4th gear

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Having read some of the replies, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a minor remap. Toyota in their wisdom have the software in the ECU such that it cannot be downloaded, modified and reloaded. It has to be a complete reload, either stock or modified. All you fellows disconnecting the battery is a good and simple way to try and reset everything but similar results can be achieved by simply disconnecting the ECU. That's the big plug in the firewall passenger side. Meanwhile I may need to start a new topic for the following issues I am experiencing: Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info. Bit the bullet and replaced all 4 with new slotted rotors and pads from DBA. Huge difference in braking. However the shudder has return almost with a vengeance. Thought I fixed the problem when I disconnected the ECU for another unrelated issue. ECU is remapped, car went in limp mode and could not clear it with the scangauge. Problem not fixed and I am lost as to why this is happening. Plan on visiting Berima Diesel later on this year to have the injectors checked and I'll get them to look at the brakes if I still haven't figured it out. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt. The link is https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility I would appreciate any feedback from any owner who has taken this step. thanks, Bob See https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm? 192.168.100.1 192.168.1.1

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.
