If your car takes unleaded petrol, you have plenty of options when it comes to providers, as all stations carry unleaded petrol. The newer technology of petrol engines also means they are more efficient than previous generation petrol engines, in theory driving your dollars further.
Although you typically pay more for this type of fuel over ULP, diesel is regarded as being much more efficient. Not only that, but diesel engines inherently have more torque and therefore are ideal for carrying heavy loads or towing things such as caravans.
LPG is much cheaper than Unleaded or Diesel; however, the trade-off is that you achieve less performance, and it can often take up valuable luggage space in standard vehicles. However, the upshot is that the government offers rebates to convert to LPG, therefore making it a viable option for the price-conscious.
Also known as ‘higher octane’ unleaded, premium unleaded 95 and 98 fuels contain a research octane number (RON) level of 95 or 98. This is the fuel’s resistance to ignite under high pressure. Just about all new cars can take these variations of unleaded fuel.
Fundamentally this fuel is unleaded petrol except it contains up to 10% of ethanol – a biofuel derived from renewable products. It’s one of the more affordable petrol options available and is compatible with all new and some older cars.
E85 is a high-concentration biofuel blend which contains between 70% and 85% ethanol and 15% to 30% unleaded petrol. E85 (also known as flex fuel) produces less harmful emissions than unleaded petrol, but can only be used in cars specifically built or modified to use it.
Biodiesel is made from natural, renewable sources (plants) that burns cleaner, contains no petroleum, and is biodegradable.
Premium diesel has no real power advantages over standard diesel; however, it’s purported to clean your engine more effectively, in turn extending its life and providing better economy and bang for your buck.
With petrol prices following a price cycle of up to three weeks, the key to getting in at the right time is to try and identify the trend in your area. Picking the days where prices are lower in the cycle is the easiest strategy to cut down your fuel costs long term.
By regularly keeping watch of our fuel price tool, you can easily see online when the prices are at their lowest.
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to keeping on top of ever-increasing fuel prices. By following these tips, you’ll be in good stead to save as much as possible.
Another advantage of comparing fuel prices is that if you find a better deal on petrol, you could put this into a higher-performing fuel and come out equal. So essentially, you’re getting a better performance for the same price. Who could argue with that? Play it smart and compare your fuel with us and see if you can save.
You might consider storing fuel in case of an emergency. This can be a smart idea, especially if you live in a remote area. However, keep in mind that there are specific ways to store fuel safely.
Car insurance is a valuable product that can protect your car in the event of an accident, weather event or theft. It can also help cover costs if you cause damage to another vehicle.
Like fuel, not all car insurance policies are the same and by comparing your options, you may be able to pay less for a similar product.
