HI guys could any one let us know the price, at the mo, for the cost of petrol and also diesel per ltr/gallon etc. Have been looking at car/van prices on the net, to buy, and wondering the prices on fuel and what sort of miles to the gallon i can expect to get from something like a 4x4, or a van/people carrier?
Thanks for any info

Petrol prices in the past year and a half have risen by 30-40c a litre and a lot of people are feeling the pinch, especially those with big V8's.

This has had a real knock on effect on groceries prices as so many goods are delivered by road.

Anyway going back to your question....Diesel is the way to go and the best cars are VW or BMW for this, but all depends on your budget. If you have to go for LPG, I have heard that the government tax will not be subsidised for LPG for much longer and will return to unleaded petrol prices (I think this is happening in the UK soon too). Also the LPG Storage tank eats into the boot space, unless you buy a tank.

MPG on a 4x4 depends....best around 30mpg, worst 15mpg.

Even at $1.50, Auz prices are still cheap compared to the UK.........what's the typical cost of road tax and insurance?

My insurance for my Kia Sportage was $450 ish. 6 monthly Reg (same as car tax) was $226 ish. Can't remember the exact amount but that is pretty close. Remember when you buy a car here you have to pay government stamp duty on the amount the car costs, so the dearer the car, the more you have to pay.
