    Default Price of petrol in Oz?

    My wife and I lived in SA many years ago and gas was comparable to US prices. I was wondering what is it now?

    Sure wish I was back there!

    Up in the Northern Territory (Darwin) we pay approx $AU1.38 for regular unleaded (91RON) and $AU1.63 for BP Ultimate (98RON). Bit cheaper in southern states

    By SA did you mean South Africa or something else? If you meant South Africa I was just there in January and the prices were about $2.60 in both Capetown and Joburg/Pretoria area.
