Follow up to the other thread with cheap fuel prices.
This pic taken approximately 2003 I think at Caboolture. Or it could have been near Australia Zoo.
Sorry about picture quality. I was still using my dad’s digital camera plus Facebook compression is bad.

Northbound Burpengary BP on the highway, I think?
With inflation that is approx $1.45 today. Considering oil and fuel costs are only 1 component of the bowser price and other things like wages, overheads etc has also gone up, we weren’t doing too badly until a couple of weeks ago.
Fuel prices so high they are taking your pixels too

God i still remember the collective outrage when it hit a dollar a litre. Little did we know.
the little 323turbo/familia in the foreground is cool. I owned one in about 2006/7 – essentially the same as the tx3 underneath, but better looking IMO.
Not to be ‘back in my day’ but I distinctly remember when my dad topped up before he usually did because fuel was $0.66/L. Similar time.
I’m an old fart. When I got my first car the first gulf war between the USA and Iraq erupted, after Iraq invaded Kuwait. Fuelling my old Holden Kingswood went up from 49¢ to 70¢ per litre. OUTRAGE!
Ahh potato camera days.
Why did someone show up in a Nissan Pintara station wagon….the very underpowered version of the skyline when they came with 4 doors (except the GTS)
The people out of their cars would be faster.
We were on $12 an hour
I sold my rotary cos 98 was touching $1.50 in 2006
and when s13 didnt cost 25k no engine no dash no lowballers i know what i’ve got
I got a photo from when covid hit. 0.99c a litre!
Meanwhile the TGP of 91 is now $2.20/L… holy fuck
Looks like a boostcruising/Brisbane cruising meet to the sunny coast!
