I was originally confused, because you pay in $ but quantity is in Liters! But then noticed the community is Australia.
I can tell you that the price here in northern Europe is 4,15 Australian $ pr liter… That would have been just about $300 for your tankful 🤦

Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Liberia, Namibia, and Taiwan all use dollars that aren’t USD.

Which is one reason why I’ve taken to referring to currency with nation included, e.g. US$, AU$, JP¥, GB£… The Euro is the only easy standard, arguably the ‘English language’ of currency

D instead of $ is the usual nomenclature. Eg: CAD, AUD, USD. Like wise GBP, JPY.
The Euro is…very famously not English

You know how English is a default language, a base for many multinational conversations? Everyone refers to it? Well, Euro is the easiest to refer to because it is so widely used and stable. It’s not English. It’s like the ‘English language’ of currency.

Which is fair in most contexts, but when you’re in an Australian community, it’s safe to assume that AUD is the default.

Oh yeah, situational awareness comes first, something that doesn’t seem to come naturally to everyone. There’s a mild need for c/LostLemmings
