Australia only uses RON while we use the average of MON and RON, so that 91 octane fuel is probably going to be equivalent to our 87.

Gas taxes are 39.6 cents/litre + 10% GST.

Is it really that different than where we were a few months ago (before refinery shutdowns and resulting price increases)?
