Fuel on the Nullabor
« on: April 04, 2014, 11:48:46 AM »
The BP at Norseman provided this information on a slip of paper. Eliot over on FarRiders typed it up  :thumb  If there are any updates, comments on the various places etc let me know and I will update to keep the information current.

A Info is Place Name, Kilometers from Norseman, Fuel branding & Hours of operation (supplied on a little
slip of paper at the counter of the BP servo. Caltex at Norseman cheaper than BP.

B Balladonia - 191K - BP - 6am to 10pm

C Caiguna - 374K - BP - 24 hours

D Cocklebiddy - 438K - BP - 6.30am to 10pm

I Nullarbor - 1030K - Liberty - 7.30am to 10.30pm (expensive, have to hand in licence before being able to fill) (Nullabor roadhouse has good burgers. Tent site on bluemetal      hardstand is $20 although charged Hoffy and Wombat $10 each and good showers are coin operated at $1)

J Penong - 1106K -Caltex - 24 hr (NO GAS)

*Edit* I don't know where "I" is on the map so guess based on Border village and Nullarbor being the furthest apart

Caltex at Coolgardie is currently being renovated. Rode past it today. There is a Liberty at the other end of town but not sure about their opening hours

Norseman Fuel at Caltex cheaper than BP.
Eucla fuel about 10 cents cheaper than Border Village.
Nullabor roadhouse has good burgers. Tent site on bluemetal hardstand is $20 although charged Hoffy and Me $10 each and good showers are coin operated at $1.

This is for Brock who loves his fuel
It also shows I need to look at timing and carby equalization.

These figures are with wide swag across the seat, using highway blades, NGK Iridium plugs and an over zealous throttle. We only rode in day light so I dont know the opening times.

 Wombat  White Undercoat is not as slippery as Coloured  Hi Gloss paint, therefore less fuel economy.  :Stirpot
