    I just paid 199.9 for mine in welly. But there is a BP by north city shopping mall and both mobil and BP in mana (main road out of town)
    I only speed when i overtake, so i don't spend to much time on the wrong side of the road!!!!!

    I like it when petrol prices go up, less cars on the road!
    If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason

    Not necessarily true. In a standard boost application, 95 is okay (as evidenced by EvoScan testing with Brad).
