It also has a lot to do with the quality of fuel, dont buy wollies discounted ******* it comes from Indonesia and a full of S***. Buy the Shell ULD or BP ULTM.
Every major fuel company in Aust. other than Caltex/Woolworths and Ampol imports their fuel from U.A.E United Arab Emirates (They're not fighting for peace... they're fighting for oil domination !!), which sits in big fuel Vats and company's buy it from here. Alot of little servo's import their fuel from indonesia because its cheaper,,, but u end up with problems. Car runs rough, sluggish, hessitant, water in system etc. Then you have to buy a fuel additive about $15- $20 to get rid of that S**** not to mention a fuel filter.
So if you think ya gettin a bargain with your discount voucher.... you may be not.
Cheaper is not always better.
I jus get 800km's out a of shell Premium or 675 if i tow a trailer load..and its only done 180k man v6 HWY DRIVIN

errrrrm but I dont know where you get your information from, but all Caltex/woolies fuel comes from Chevron derived refineries all over Asia Pacific. You can't pinpoint Caltex fuel down to a single country!!!

I think when Woollies first sold petrol, before the Caltex joint venture, they were importing their fuel as you said, but it's been typical Aussie fuel for a long time now.

A friend worked at a small Shell outlet a long time ago and advised me to never buy petrol from Shell. That and horror stories about Shell Optimax means that I've used Shell petrol about 3 times in the last 10 years.
