So 12% extra would be like 720grms... So a 6kg wash it be worth running 7kgs of dex?

You can find it at a lot of supermarkets when it's on special. I think the best I have got it was 1.15 from cambells

yeah it says its that price online. but when i signed into the on-line store, put in my location, it went up 50%. i emailed Woolworths and asked em about it and they were like because of your location the prices change. I didn't realise Perth city attracted such a price hike.
