give it 2-3 years until they squeeze all the servos without the docket support out of business, and we're gonna need the dockets to get it at the normal price...

The shit thing is there is no BP one so i cant get Ultimate... of well... a full tank of fuel with 4c/l off will save me about $2-3

Filled up with PULP @ BP for 94c/L. Ultimate was $1.07 when 91RON was 88c.

WTF is up with that? It's only two RON above PULP...

Well, the ACCC likes the 4c off saying that it promotes competition in the market.

I'm now enjoying filling up at ULP again with the company car. :) no 4c off though. :(

I believe our (SA) petrol comes from Victoria, now that our refinery has closed, therefore that would justify (sarcasm) the 90 to 99 cents per litre we are paying for ULP. Want PULP, be prepared to always pay well over the $1 mark. This price fluctuation is a weekly occurrence. So much so, that it becomes difficult to guess our "average" weekly price.
Still try to give the Astra a drink of PULP whenever possible!

Yeah there is. Buy from IGA and you get 2c off at BP.

Just filled up 81.9 without the discount. Quite good for Sydney prices.

Hear the ACCC is investigating Telstra's broadband pricing for being "to cheap?"

They cut both ways

V.A.T. is 17.5%...........its the same for cigerettes here too, premium brands are £4.50+ for a pack of 20 ($10.90)

Yeah, our equivalent GST is 10% but for fuel there could be a lot of hidden duties and exise.

No wonder people blag fags from the continent and smuggle them over!

FYI,
98RON BP Ultimate in Perth is 91c to 98c presently (over 5 days) -
seeing it is made here, it's rich.
Worst price I paid for Ultimate was $1.23 in Albany 500km from Perth.
I use http://www.fuelwatch.wa.gov.au/advanced_search.cfm to buy at the low part of the pricing cycle.
Presently:
84c ULP
89c PULP

It's called cheap taxes/BP fuel monopoly in Perth ;-)

Check the gateprice http://www.fuelwatch.wa.gov.au/terminalgate_price.cfm
