Fuel prices- how cheap is this!

I wish... We are paying around 95 cents per litre over here in Perth today and even on our cheap?!? days we pay around 80-85 cents per litre.

How many jerry cans do you have?!?

just goes to show how much profit is the fuel pricing if you can 30c differance between the states makes you wish for price regulation

i know you all might think that i sit at home and think of conspiricy thoerys but where im origanally from (gunnedah) woolies have set up a fuel shop there and scince 2 or 3 petrol shops have gone bust one even sold up before they got there not wanting to take the risk. because everyone is doing it tough out there 3c/l is alot, now woolies is taking advantage of the fact that 1c/l profit in all shops is still a lot of money to them. what do you think will happen to the cost of fuel in 2 or 3 years when they run the other 3 (i think) servos that are left out of town?
please no-one get me wrong im not having a dig at anyone for buying cheap fuel i think fuel companies are up there with insurance companies but its just another angle to look at i always make a point to go to another sevo back home when i know itll only save me 2 or 3 dollars.
did anyone know this?
i work with a bloke whos girly works high up in the food chain for a fuel company, now in sydney a board set a price of fuel. if a shop runs at a loss for the month and stick to that cost of fuel that shop will get a rebate, if a shop is caught not running that price and still run at a loss they wont get a rebate. and ive been told that this "board" do have contractors who check stores all the time for these prices.
yes i know its 3rd info but i believe it.

Cheap days (Mon - Wed) the price here (Eatons Hill on Brisbane's north side) is between 69 - 75 cents/l. That is at most of the servos, not woolies.

Thursdays it jumps to around 85 cents/l then on Sunday it starts creeping back down again.

Tell me they are not racketerring.

According to my Service guy, they have seen a few victims of Woolies diesel here in Sydney south.

Cheers,

In Maryborough (the QLD one), unleaded sells for 78.6 cent/liter, deisel 77.3 cents. 30Kms down the road in Hervey Bay deisel is 84.9cents, don't know what unleaded is cause I own a deisel and don't look at the petrol side anymore. But it must be dearer, cause there are a lot of people coming up here to do there shopping and fueling up. Hervey Bay businesses are are getting really cranky because of lose of trade.
95kms down the road in Gympie, deisel sells regularly for 74.5cents, always fill up there when going to Brisbane.

In southern WA now all fuel is transported by road in fueltankers. Someone tell me how a town such as Esperance which is 720km from Perth, population of 15,000 is ALWAYS at least 2-3c cheaper than Albany which is 450km from Perth with a population of 30,000.........the sums just dont add up.

.....Remember the days of driveway service....these days the "console operators" dont move their butt off the stool behind the cash register. Recently I used a servo and there was no water in their "watering can". I had the nerve to ask if it was possible to get some fresh water, he replied "we only do it at the change of shifts".

Want more, another servo I WAS a regular at stopped putting in a homebrand type windscreen washing fluid (worth about $1.65) in his 2 washer buckets in order to "save costs"....obviously he saved a packet because he didnt need my $120 of fuel a fortnight anymore....

.......anyhow.....thats my 2 cents (a litre) worth.......

One reason fuel is cheaper in Qld is the Govt doesn't collect as much fuel excise. (so I'm told!)
In the ACT region the fuel can fluctuate up to 10c /L from week to week - can't work out why - maybe it goes up on pay weeks, or weekends to hit the tourists?

I reackon Qld & WA should pay more for fuel than the Southern parts of Aus - they don't have to spend as much money on warm clothes in winter! Had a Max of 8* the other day !Colin - Subaru Forester

If you want cheap, we were in Iran a few years ago during a London-Kathmandu trip and were paying 0.75 of one cent per litre.
