Hey all,

Most of you probably know that petrol prices fluctuate during the week. So which day of the week is petrol the cheapest?

Well I am asking all of you to help me out with this. I'm setting up a table to collate all this information and need your help with the prices.

Could you post up petrol prices that you fill up on? Or if you drive by a petrol station and just remembered the prices?

I need to following information:

Date

Time

Suburb

Fuel (eg, Shell Vpower, Shell e10, Bp ultimate etcetc)

Cost (in cents ie 135.6 c/L)

Once I get some data I'll put it into a google docs spreadsheet so that its viewable to all and eventually I'll make it so that anyone can edit it and put in their own prices.

Thanks for helping me out

Any thoughts and comments will also be appreciated

I've made it so people can view the results. I'll make it so anyone can edit these later once I have more info

Yeah in Syd it used to be cheap tuesday night but now it seems to have changed to thursday night.

I'll create a new table for the different states

Point people to this topic and help collate data!. I'll post up the google doc links soon. Its very brief and probably needs modification but its ok for now

Only problem is the lack of a QLD spreadsheet :whistling:

Oh right! Fixed

Did you want to edit it yourself or did you want to give me the data and i'll put them in?

You don't mind if I'm lazy and just copy and paste with my formatting? It's a lot of rows to adjust. I can get data going back further too, and I can also get data over the same period from dad's spreadsheet, so that will give a couple extra days each week.

Nah, keep it out of lift to avoid high knock causing the ECU to retard timing, and thus losing you power ;)

I've made the QLD one open so anyone can edit. So SD you can do whatever you want with it. I'll maintain the new data that comes in

Funny you mention knocking .. have been getting teribble knocking when trying to move the car without applying enough throttle.. The feeling just before stalling the car but it comes with the additional knocking/rattling like components hitting each other .huh.gif

Just get a bottle octane booster and put it in. You'll be fine then. Else just mix it with some 98.

So does that mean you'll be using some math formula to predict what fuel prices would be on which day, which state like that dude Charlie from Numb3rs? :spiteful:

That sounds like your accessory belt idler pulley needs replacing. The bearing in them seems to go very quickly.

More NOOOOOOOOOOOOs .. How much is that now ??

I hate forking money for unexpected rubbish ...mad.gif

The noise is more pinging than knocking , will it be the same issue ?? (I thought more about the sound and decided it was a ping more than a knock)
