Tonight when I filled up, diesel was cheaper than petrol for the first time I have seen in many years.   :D
Diesel 109.9
ULP 118.9

Let's hope it stays that way.   8)

That was from the Caltex on Compton Rd at Calamvale in Brisbane.  Give me your address and I'll send some jerry cans through the post.   :lol:

Lol. I think I was just so shocked about the price, my brain just went into meltdown.  :lol: :lol: :lol: Post amended.

Anyway Middy I'm in Newcastle. If someone didn't stop you from sending it, it would probably get 'borrowed' in transit.

Enjoy the cheap fuel!

Regards

Daniel

I re-read your post and thought "what do you mean what was he on? sounds fine to me..."
Then I re-read what Dazz'd quoted. Lol.

It was in the UK until September 2007, 1 of the reasons why I bought the diesel.

Day after I took delivery, diesel started to cost more than unleaded and still is!!

YES!

Blame me as I get blamed for everything in my house.

Yesterday it was my fault that the spuds were over cooked.
I don't go anywhere near the cooker when her in doors is in the kitchen.  More than my life is worth.
