Les Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Fuel cards Keith, What I did was contacted Skyfuel online.They give you all 3 Mobil,Shell and BP at no cost to you.You get one account monthly from them.Very convenient especially as there are so many self serve pumps nowdays.I'm sure there are other firms that issue cards as well.I've been happy with Skyfuel. regards, Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yep - that's what I was going to suggest. Skyfuel are awesome. As well as those 3, you can also get an Aero Refueller's card from Skyfuel. This mob have taken over a lot of the pumps in NSW. I use it more than the others. I have an auto-debit arrangement with Skyfuel, so I get bills, but I don't have to worry about paying them. They also sent a lovely card when Mum died. They care.

rong Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 This thread hasn't been active for a while. Can anyone provide more recent outback AVGAS prices? I'm interested in Bedourie, Birdsville, Bourke, Broken Hill, Longreach, Tibooburra, and Windorah, but any others in the region, particularly if cheaper than the above, might be helpful. Thx Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't worry about prices in the out back, they deserve a fair price for just being there. Tibooburra could be more expensive due to call out fee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compulsion Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi Phil, Off topic but hoping to get over to Loxton very soon. Was going to head over last Sunday but the weather wasn't playing ball. Any handy tips on flying into Loxton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Thanks Phil. I don't disagree about asking/paying a fair price. I expected a bigger variation over that range of airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rong You never mentioned William Creek or Oondadatta where a premium price is justified ??? Take your check book there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabiru Phil Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi Compulsion, Thanks for the contact. I flew up to the Sunshine Coast last week for a month of libation, surf, debauchery and golf. The guys at Loxton usually have a BBQ Sunday's, with an permanent lunch date every third Sunday of the month. This coincides with Renmark Breakfast on the same day. The bird scarers will be using the airways for a few weeks yet. They are very good and work below 500' radio contact to avoid conflict. Council have just regraded 08/26 17/35 was very rough when I left. Guess that they are waiting for rain. No issues flying in. ctaf code on rear clubhouse door. Cold drinks, coffee etc Cheers Phil.

rong Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Update on AVGAS prices from a trip completed July, 2013 (+ indicates landing fee on top): Bedourie 2.80 Birdsville 3.15 Bourke 2.67 Cobar 2.39 + Deniliquin 2.29 Longreach 2.31 + Mangalore 2.14 + Moorabbin 2.11 + Thargomindah 2.40 White Cliffs 2.75 Windorah 2.30 Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK58 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Windorah looks the go for anyone headed to Birdsville for the races (from coastal Qld at least). Can't see the justification for an extra 85 cents per litre for the extra 400km transport to Birdsville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Particularly when Bedourie (further) can do it for $2.80. I was also disappointed that Birdsville has lost it's character. Fantastic strips, but security cyclone fence around the whole deal, so no taxiing to the pub. Gotta keep those outback terrorists away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
