Are you sure that it's spelt B-O-R-D-E-R?$1.179 is cheapest I've found on the Gold Coast. TV news says 8 to 10 cents cheaper over the border.
A range of 400km doesn't give you much leeway in some places to be able to choose where and when to fill up. Then there's the problems of access to fuel pumps while towing. Some towns are all on the other side of the road and can be difficult to get to. I prefer to have the tray/canopy space for other things and don't like the idea of heavy items back at the tailgate in a twin cab ute. I'm not fond of all the fuel weight being on one side of the vehicle though so am trying to put heavier items on the other side to try to balance it out. I will still have a choice of 1-2 jerries on the "A" frame as backup and for the van diesel heater as well. I'm also getting a bit past the fun of trying to hold up a full jerry can at chest height to be able to empty it in to the car tank (been there, done that).
