Fuel Price question

Ask the ACCC I'm sure they have the answer they say there is no evidence of price fixing or collusion in or between oil companies. Just a little sarcasm there not directed at you of course.
I hope the next time nature destroys something in this country that she targets oil companies and the ACCC for being so stupid.

This is what is called the free enterprise or capitalist system. It leads to cheaper prices for consumers because their is no government intervention in the pricing process. That's the theory.

In simple terms, prices are charged to a level that the market will bear. As a result these prices will not suit everyone however while there are some people who continue to pay whatever is asked and probably never use discount dockets or shop around thus supporting the lower(est) prices then we will continue to see unacceptable fluctuations. Probably biggest 'offenders' are drivers of company vehicles and Govt vehicles. Probably no different than airlines, pubs, restaurants etc.

The part that bugs me is the difference between petrol and diesel it is bad enough that we have to be competive Newzealand is one set price.
The price of petrol is $1.29, diesel $1.499 thats on border of nsw albury/wodonga who's setting prices here.
The way i look at it, it seems that diesel buyers are subsidising petrol buyers as above were's ACCC

just for starters its less than 1/2 that distance between roleystone and Kwinana.
Best way to get cheaper fuel is to not buy at BP service stations they can be up to 20cpl dearer
