Costco out in Moorrabbin still showing $1.85 for 98. Unless they are subsidising their fuel prices from membership fees, then its clear the other servos are taking everyone for a ride.

Anyone know what the procedure is to fill up at a Costco? Its always packed so I've never bothered. Do you just scan your card or do you have to pre pay or what?

Correct. Scan membership card, then nominate and pay with credit card for amount of fuel wanted. If you don’t then take the amount nominated, Costco credit the unused amount back onto your credit card.

1.79 for 91 for the last couple weeks out my way. 2.29 for diesel. The city slickers seem to get ripped for fuel. I was using my old diesel dual cab for most things but have switched to my petrol mazda6 now to try and save a bit.

Easiest option is to use an iOS device, last time I checked, the method for Android is too much hassle and even then, most likely won't work.

Here's some simple instructions to spoof your location for the 7/11 app on iOS:

1. Download iFakeLocation and extract to local folder: https://github.com/master131/iFakeLocation/releases/
2. Download and install iTunes so the iOS device has drivers
3. Plug device into computer, trust/allow PC from iOS device
4. Launch ifakelocation.exe from the folder you extracted it to, it opens a browser window to localhost
5. Go to https://projectzerothree.info/prices.php and find the best price in Australia for your fuel type
6. In ifakelocation, put the town down below where the cheapest fuel is and click search (best to use town/suburb and state name, i.e "Frankston VIC")
7. Click set fake location, it'll send a zip to the iOS device.
8. Open 711 app and lock in fuel, confirm it has found the correct price and lock it in
9. Close app, go back to ifakelocation and remove location spoof to set gps back to normal then exit the app.

Done, laugh all the way to the pump as you stick it to big oil.

Mate there is telling me the media has gone bananas on cost of living. Its all they talk about 24/7. There are reports large households are now having to use residual heat from microwaves to heat their homes (its still relatively warm there). All overdone in his opinion. Media reporting food prices have doubled, yet food inflation is "only" 14%.

For general commuting, I see fuel cost as less of an issue for them there, as they can get from anywhere to anywhere with a bus and/or train in a reasonable amount of time.

My area has come down to $1.7x for 91. Surprised. Thought we'd see a steady rise to $3 once the excise cuts had finished.

$2.82 for diesel in a few places. Petrol seems to be a better place to be than diesel these days.

President Biden has suggested that OPEC (Saudi Arabia) should increase production with the onset of northern winter, which may just bring world fuel prices down ! Only a couple of months ago OPEC + met and agreed to reduce production in order to increase profits. (incidentally OPEC+ includes Russia). Saudi Aramco of course, now listed on the world stock exchange, operates the largest refinery in Texas. Why do we worry, it's all under control. What ever ? meanwhile massive oil reserves in some unfriendly countries (Iran, Venezuela, some African countries etc.) are accessed only under severe trade embargoes.

The Saudi's hate Biden cause he called Bin Salman a murderer for what happened to Koshoggi. They basically laughed him off when he asked them to increase production. He will get zero favors from them.

And yet the price of US fuel has fallen something like 70c/gal since earlier this year,
maybe Joe said something in private that made them ease prices a touch….or maybe not.

He asked to them to hold off on making an announcement about cutting production till after the midterms. They announced it pretty much a day or 2 after he asked them. That tells you all you need to know about what they think of President Potato.


DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The Biden administration asked Saudi Arabia, the de-facto leader of oil producer group OPEC, to delay its decision on oil output by a month, the kingdom said in a statement.

The Saudis declined, and in early October OPEC+ — which includes non-OPEC oil exporters like Russia — announced its largest supply cut since 2020, to the tune of 2 million barrels per day starting from November.

Protests and Covid zero lockdowns in China means less demand for U.S crude staying under $85 p/b for both.

Hopefully stays that way for Xmas and holidays.
