    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Yeah diesel has stayed pretty constant for a long time but appears to have had a price increase in this last week and is up to $1.56 now. How much is it where you are? Sorry how far from Perth are you?

    I'm about 40 kms from Perth, around my area the price hardly ever changes maybe 1 or 2 cents up or down and has been sitting about $1.61 or there abouts for at least a year now. For a long while it was around $1.50 then all of a sudden it jumped 10 cents and never came back down.

    At Innaminka in 2007 I managed to get 2 litres more into a gerry can that I had been able to do anywhere else. A complaint met with the response "go to the next servo then" smart arse.

    I have been through Innaminka 3 times since, and guess what, I work it so I don't need to fuel up there, I do go to the next servo.
    Time Marches On .....and on ..... and on
