frankS Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hi all, might be doing a rush trip over to Perth with a mate to take some stuff over for another friend, will be towing a box trailer loaded with mobility vehicle and other stuff and will have the station wagon loaded, so will probably be carrying a bit of a load. I want to try and work out a rough budget to see IF it is worth while doing OR just freight the stuff over. Cheapest I can find so far just for the mobility scooter is $1600 , 2 x small dogs have to go and air price for each is $800 odd. $500 for seated passenger, so with quiet a bit of other stuff is going to work out expensive. I have calculated I would use approx. 1000 ltrs give or take a 100 or so either way. Has anybody been over lately and could tell me approx. price per ltr for unleaded petrol ? through the Nullarbor etc. I have guessed about average $1.85 per ltr. I need to work out a estimate to charge, so she can work out if it's cheaper for me to do it OR just freight it over. Update. Dogs flying over as the 4 day journey would be too stressful for them ( apparently ) . Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yella king Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hi Frank. This may help you work it out. There is an app you can get that`s called petrol spy Australia, it gives you petrol prices anywhere in Australia , you just have to put in a suburb or postcode.

frankS Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Thanks mate I think my estimate of a average at about $1.85 per litre wouldn't be far off the money. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankS Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Neil. I am waiting on just one more quote to transport the stuff and I think it will be sent by freight rather than have me drive it over. Gonna cost around $1800 just in fuel for me to go over there and back, then there's at least a couple of nights accommodation , I don't mind having a kipp in the car but not for 3 nights each way. It's a bloody long drive and I ain't getting any younger. While I would like to do it, the more I think about it the harder it's getting. If by chance I do do the trip I will surely drop in and see you, will have a mate with me each way so won't be doing all the driving by myself.
