‘ Windy’ is a great app for determining the wind direction five to 10 days in advance.
4. Buy fuel at the right time during the fuel price cycle. You will have noticed that the price for fuel tends to increase right before the weekend. This is no coincidence; however, it may not be for the reason you think. Petrol prices move up and down in almost regular patterns in all of Australia’ s capital cities. Picking the right time to buy fuel is the trick. The ACCC monitors the petrol industry, and the Petrol and Fuel section of its website has all the information you need to pick the right time to buy fuel, wherever you are.
5. Buy truck diesel rather than‘ special’ diesel. I have often wondered what the difference is between the cheaper diesel in the truck bays compared to the supposedly special diesel you get at the car pump. I’ ve heard that the truck diesel is lower quality or has fewer cleaning agents than the stuff they sell for regular cars. This cannot be true. Truckies need their vehicles to support their livelihood. They travel huge distances hauling heavy loads in all conditions. You really think they are going to put the crappy fuel into their trucks? Of course not. 54 \
