How to use Cheapest Petrol Prices Melbourne versus Nearest Petrol Station
One of life's mysteries has now been solved!
How often do you wonder whether it is better to buy at local petrol station with a higher
price, or drive to a further petrol station with a lower price? That mystery has now been
solved.
The Cheapest Petrol Prices Melbourne versus Nearest Petrol Station calculator enables
you to enter the price at two petrol stations, the efficiency of your car, how many
litres, and you'll now see the total cost at the nearest petrol station and the total
cost and difference at a further, but cheaper petrol station. Just estimate the extra distance
there and back and you can see if there are any savings.
Keep in mind the Cheapest Petrol Prices Melbourne versus Nearest Petrol Station calculator
only takes into account the cost of petrol and not the wear and tear
on your car for the extra kilometres, or your time. If you a money saving voucher you
should reduce the price of the applicable price by the appropriate amount.
At least now you can easily see
how much extra petrol you'll use driving to a more distant petrol station and work out
whether that is worthwhile or not.
Price 1: The pump price at the nearest or close petrol station. This will be the more expensive
price.
Price 2: The pump price at the more distant or cheapest petrol station. This will be the cheaper price.
Litres / 100 km: This is the fuel efficiency of your car. If you don't know your fuel
efficiency you can use the Litres / 100 km calculator to assist. A useful figure would be 8 for
a small car, 10 for a medium and 12 for a large car. Keep in mind this is only an estimate.
Litres This is how much petrol you'll want to buy and that depends on how much is left
in your tank.
Result: Once you enter in the above information you'll then be given a total price
for the cost at the nearest petrol station and a list showing distances from 0 to 20 km.
Since you're using fuel to get to the further petrol station there's a cost involved.
As you drive further the cost increases and the difference or savings decreases. At some
distance the cost in petrol alone may end up eating up any saving and thus cost you more.
At least now you have a quick way to work out if the extra time and effort is worthwhile.
