Wouldn't the savings in petrol at todays rate(obviously dependent on ones consumption) offset the low value of the OZ $, hence justifying a purchase at its current price be a non issue?

No probs,

Except, a new Tak FSQ106 is around 7,000 AUD. So you are saving 50 cents on a litre of petrol. So you would need to be doing say 14,000 litres of petrol a year to justify it.

Not unreasonable I guess .....
