What's the exchange rate US/AUS?

And Redline is synthetic, Ester isn't.

For the last few months its been at

1USD = 1.06AUD

Now its 1USD=0.98AUD

We call it the Australia Tax, everything here is more expensive lol.

Yeah, I paid within a few cents of that the first change that I had. Now I use Mobil 1 and take it to them. With some of the deals and rewards points that I've gotten at Autozone, a 5liter jug ends up around $25.

Yup, that's about what I'm paying for Pennzoil Ultra at Wal Mart.
