Fuelwatch

Al - while Fuelwatch may not realise huge savings it will, IMHO, improve competition among retailers to the extent we will not see the wild fluctuation we have over the past month or so. Was in Tuggeranong (suburb of Canberra) on Friday and at the Woolies (Caltex) unleaded was 150.9 before using any docket - the Woolies (Caltex) on the Monaro Highway about 10 km away was 156.9 and at the Caltex on Lanyon Drive a further 5 km away was 164.9 - I'm hoping that fuelwatch will spread the competition even further. Perhaps.....just perhaps mind you....it will work. As far as I can see no one is proposing anything any better. And a it is my firm opinion that a cut in the excise will not find its way to motorists but will only expand profits for the big 4 oil companies.

My 2 bobs worth.

What a load of crap, has been proven in other state that we are not going to gain anything. As far as shopper dockets go I will save more buying my dunny paper from Aldi's then woolworths. Was better the way it was as at least on a tuesday or wednesday you had a chance of saving a few $$$. Getting screwd get use to it Al, just hit record highs again last night see how long before we cop it at the bowsers, bet they dont sell the stuff we have in stock at the current price, will go up in the next day or too for sure.

What fuel watch will do will make you aware WHO IS CHARGING WHAT....The way I see those WHO are trying to rip us off have the most to FEAR and are currently squeeling...let them suffer...it is MY money and I refuse to feather their nest....they have been hiding for too long.....after all, don't you shop around for a better price if you can or are you so rich it does not matter.

Gramps !, Are you calling the greatest bunch of government

Disciples this country has ever seen " Muppets"......Or as usual just being polite!?.....:)))))))).

Fuelwatch save motorists money, you've got to be kidding !! If you haven't heard the oil companies whinging and moaning about it by now (I certainly haven't) then they must think it's going to be a pretty darn good thing for them, resulting in even more profits.

the oil companies and servo operators are laughing their b***cks off.

Remember what happened to the last govt handout?

$2000 subsidy to convert to LPG: the price of the conversion went up overnight from $2500 to $4500.

FuelWatch will put an end to the discounting cycle. How can that benefit anyone?

The Woolworths Chief Executive is on record as saying that West Australia is the company's most profitable state for selling fuel.

I would like to know who voted for this lot, no one seems to admit they did.

The thing is Al we ain't seen nothing yet with this lot either, just wait till start on the super funds.

If you want to see fuel prices come down, stop being conned by fuel discount vouchers & DON'T buy any fuel from supermarket owned service stations, ever. ........ Simple!

not directly related - but the "head of catering" has been shopping alternatively at Franklins and IGA for the pst 4/5 months and has seen her supermarket bill drop from $280 average to $210. We originally shopped at Woollies, then, not so much the price, but the fresh food (both meat and fruit and veg) was not fresh - so she went to Coles for at least a couple of years and that was marginally cheaper and fresher, although not as many of our fave goodies. Since going to IGA and Franklins, again, not as much choice, but a pretty significant drop in prices.

The coupon/voucher thing is a bloody racket.

HI etall
