  1. We use to allow all budget petrol stations however this was changed when one of the vehicles was gased with very poor gas and it destroyed the engines.  We have a commercial agreement with Rebel in Earlwood NSW and this is why we only allow Rebel.  Gast stations listed as budget petrol stations is no longer allowed to be used to refuel company vehicles.

Is "Red 91" acceptable? It's cheaper than "yellow 95"

  1. Answered on 8/11/18 13:47 by @amanda.z: Red 91 is acceptable to use to refuel vehicles that can take unleaded fuel.  Peter has requested to use the cheapest and most suitable fuel.  Those numbers – 91, 95 and 98 – are the so-called ‘octane rating’ of the fuel. They’re all about the same in terms of the energy in the fuel. For more information on fuel types please use this link https://www.canstarblue.com.au/vehicles/which-petrol-should-you-use/

Update Petrol Fueling for Company Vehciles

Hello, fuel prices are steadily increasing and vehicle fuel budgets are increasingly being overspent.

To reduce costs with fuel the policy for fuel is to be changed to allow fueling to be allowed at all petrol stations including no name or budget petrol stations with the cheapest fuel price.

For those with the Uber Perk Discount only fuel at Caltex if the discounted price is cheaper than another petrol station.

It is still recommended to always refuel at the Budget Petrol on Homer Street Earlwood .

*No Ethanol - still NOT allowed in vehicles*

All Company Vehicles and Rental or Hired Vehicles by the company are required to be fueled at the end of your shift or where the vehicle has less than a 1/4 tank of fuel.

  1. Exception: All chauffeured vehicles must always be refuelled at the end of each shift to ensure the next rostered driver has a full tank of full, unless you are informed otherwise by a supervisor.

FUEL AND FILLING UP THE VEHICLE: Ensure the vehicle is not left empty for the next driver allocated to use the vehicle you are using or rostered to use.

  1. Important to note we only purchase fuel at reputable Gas Stations like BP, Shell, Mobil, 7-Eleven, Caltex etc.  We do not allow fuel to be purchased at cheap budget or independent gas stations, except for Rebel Fuel located on 200 Homer St, Earlwood NSW, Australia opposite Dominos Pizza near the traffic lights.

  2. When filling up fuel only purchase unleaded fuel.  DO NOT PURCHASE PREMIUM FUEL OR E10 fuel fuel for all the vehicles.  The vehicles do not require high-octane fuel.

  3. Only fill up fuel when the fuel tank is less than 1/4 of the fuel tank.  If the fuel at the end of your shift is half-way or more, do not fill up.  This is often adequate for the next shift and if they need more, they can fill up anyway.
