When many driving companions come to Australia, they will find that what kind of operation is refueling here? If you go to the gas station for the first time, if there is no guidance, there will really be some embarrassing situation. How to pretend to be an old driver who often refueling? Wait online! Don`t worry, we`ll show you the way:
When refueling in Australia, there is a completely different way of operation from the domestic. You will find that you can not see the staff at the gas station to help you operate, this is because Australian labor is too high, so everything is on your own! The specific operation is not difficult, choose the type of refueling you want, pick up the oil gun, aim at the refueling hole and hold the wrench. As in China, the machine will show how many liters you add, you can control according to the amount you need or the amount of oil you need, let go of the oil gun wrench at any time, and you can stop refueling. If the tank is filled, the gun will also break its own Peng. Of course, you can also set a certain amount of increase or amount on the oil meter, when the value automatically stops refueling. After filling the oil, put the gun back where it was, and the oil meter stopped. Everyone should remember the number of their refueling machine, go into the cashier, tell the cashier the number, and then pay.
Another thing that is different from domestic is that in Australia, gasoline prices fluctuate so often that there may be several different prices in a day. The price tag next to the gas station is the oil price of the day. Don`t be scared to see the three-digit price. Let`s teach you how to read it. For example, according to the price tag of CALTEX below, the price of No. 91 unleaded gasoline ULP for the day is $1.179 per liter.
Except that oil prices may be different at each time, the same company`s oil prices in different locations will also be different. Because each lot rents a different relationship.
What is also more convenient than domestic is that in Australia, gas stations are so dense that they even offer petrol filling stations when they enter a convenience store at will. Gas stations in Australia have three major brands-SHELL,BP and CALTEX. There are also some UNITED,MOBIL,TOTAL and private gas stations. Most gas stations work with local supermarkets to open refueling convenience stores. The most common is Coles, Woolworths, 7 / 11. After adding oil to visit the supermarket, it is a very sweet combination!
According to (ACCC), the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, we can see that in Sydney and Melbourne, the most expensive retailers are Coles..
The tankers at each gas station are much the same, and the common types of gasoline are generally divided into three types:
# 91 Unleaded Petrol (ULP) is the most commonly used unleaded gasoline, which is the cheapest.
# 95 Premium Unleaded Petrol (PULP) high quality unlead gasoline;
# 98 98 RON (Research Octane Number) (RON) of 98 high octane number unlead gasoline, that is, high number gasoline, the higher the octane number, the stronger the explosion resistance of gasoline, the better for the car, relatively the most expensive model.
In addition to these three kinds of common gasoline, because Australia`s diesel quality is good, sulfur content is very low, and cleanliness is very high, people also like to buy diesel version of the car. You can add good diesel at any gas station.
Finally, let`s share with you a trick to save money: when you shop at two supermarkets (Coles & Woolworths), for more than $30 at a time, you will see a fuel ticket that saves 4 cents per liter of gasoline, usually a bar code, when you pay for it at the cashier`s desk, you can get a discount by taking out a small ticket or a card scan code).
