Low Petrol Prices

[multiweb]

In my area in Western Sydney unleaded is 132c/l and has been under 140c/l for over a month now. Any reason the prices are so low. :question: Seems that the normal fluctuation from 139c/l up to 152c/l have stopped?

Yeah petrol has been really cheap lately. Almost makes me wanna stockpile some.

There is a fluctuation but its just been small and short compared to last couple of months. The last couple of months had some steep fortnightly fluctuations.

The Perth graph looks like a sawtooth wave in an oscilloscope.

Premium (98) for SWMBO's Passat CC and diesel for my Prado haven't moved much, and prices in the north-west are always higher than in the south-west.

Yes agree, the prices in the west have been around 134c - 136c for the past two weeks, except from Wednesday last week to Saturday, when it peaked at 160c

I just check this site for fuel price updates in my area and fillup when they are reasonable (or when I am running almost E) :D

Petrol prices are mostly a function of crude oil wholesale price and exchange rate.

My car is a little diesel so has quite some range...only filled it up yesterday after a while and was pretty sure the price had changed by almost 20c per litre, but couldn't really remember it was so far back :lol:

Glad to hear my memory's not as bad as I was fearing :eyepop:

158.9 cpl here in Launceston. Bloody rip off.

I paid 153/L for Ultimate yesterday, it's usually around 163/L on a Wednesday, I think the highest I've paid is around 185/L on a weekend :eyepop:

Remember when petrol went up to a dollar, need I say more.

Pardon me for being cynical but I wonder if it has something to do with this?

I've noticed prices staying low on other occasions when the petrol companies have been copping bad publicity.

Almost certainly.

The ACCC? :eyepop: That'd be a first. Did they grow a spine? :lol: Welcome changes anyway. :)

Ripped off in Newcastle has not been under $1.62 litre for unleaded

[PeterEde]

Adelaide on the rise. $1.44 pl today

I wish I had to pay those prices.

Where I am It's $168.9 per litre but at least there's no fluctuation. For the moment.

The price to pay for being dependent on fuel.

Remember when petrol was 35c per gallon?
