Post by: Dazzler on September 15, 2019, 14:22:57: A family loaner or a rental? I Imagine it's thirsty? Petrol or diesel? How do petrol prices compare with Australia? So many questions, so little time! :snigger:

5.7 L V8 petrol.
Uses for his pyrotechnics business.
Tows a MASSIVE trailer, too.
Around $1.16 CAD litre with very little fluctuations day to day.

Thanks M8 much as I suspected. Even when converted I suspect that's quite a bit cheaper than here. Paying around $1.50 in Tassie at the moment. Glad my new car comes this week seeing it is prodicted to rise. :crazy2:

I live in Australia. My son lives in Mississauga. And he needs that size to tow his trailer.
The price was back in September when we were over there.
It just started to jump up as we transitted through Vancouver on the way home.

I got 95 premium the other day for $1.54! Good opportunity to test the difference in economy versus E10 which was $1.42 i think. Appears to make about .3 L/100 kms difference which probably isn't enough to offset the usual price difference.
