30 litres isn't much, not even a tank on most cars.

Well atleast their marketing team knows it works (by getting extra people in) and it is extreamly cheap for the company!

Not to mention the people who have to drive past several servo's to actually find one that takes "Servo Savers". That could be $9 alone!

Great marketing. I guess someone who is bold enough to purchase cheap JQ airfares would be thrilled with a possible further saving of $9....

[anat0l]

$9.00 is still quite a bit of fuel for most people, especially in an era where smaller cars (and frankly huge "cars", too) are starting to inhabit our roads. People scoff in most contexts at $9.00, but $9.00 will transport most cars a fair distance.

$9.00 = Most "complete" meals from take-away stores (e.g. McD's), 2-4 cups of decent coffee, 4 toll charges, about a few kilometres trip in a taxi, more than 1 credit card charge by QF .......

Having said that, unlike MRs, people probably don't just buy JQ just to get a mere jerry can of petrol. It's an incidental thing - you need to fly, you get a token (no pun intended) "bonus". (Just like you wouldn't go to the store and buy $30 worth of junk just to get the 4c/L discount voucher, and you don't pay $16k of plane ticket just to get F pyjamas.)

If there was any ulterior objective here, I'm guessing that the 30c offer and JQ sales hardly ever - if ever - align.

For someone atracted to cheap flights, it probably is tempting - especially if they don't work out the maximum benefit.
