Thanks for all the replies, this is very interesting, I really thought our  
petrol was a bit poor compared to everyone else but apparently, this is not 
so.  I checked the details last night at work (console operator in a petrol 
station  to supplement my income to pay off the Alpine).
Leaded:         96 octane       76.1 cents per litre
Premium U/L:    95 octane       ~80  cents per litre
U/L:            91 octane       73.9 cents per litre
The Aussie dollar is worth about 80 US cents at the moment.
They are currently increasing the tax on leaded petrol to encourage people 
to update their cars and eventually it will be 5 cents more a litre than 
unleaded.
Anthony.
