Petrol price

[A G Wood]

Spare a thought for filling up the Scimitar........20 gallon tank.

Another of todays diseases....always referring to a tank of petrol wen talking costs.......is there now a standard size tank that is fitted to all cars, have I missed something?

Well in this country most of the fleet is of Japanese/Korean/Chinese origin so the default would be something like 45-50 litres.
I tend to think in Australian origin 6 cylinder sedan tankfuls, because that's what I'm most familiar with, 17 gallons (77 litres)
Old friend of mine has a Jensen Interceptor, that's 90 litres (ouch)
Used to service DAF V8 ambulances, one of the fleet had a 100 litre tank for some reason...
91 RON was around the $3 NZD mark per litre recently but has dropped back to ~ $2.65 NZD (depending on location/brand).
When I was an apprentice I remember it was $5 a gallon (20% of my wage), which was all I put in the car, and when it was gone it was cycle or walkies.
