Great question…I do not know but like the way you think.

Supply and Demand will certainly impact, I suspect that initially it might allow prices to drift down but at some point (assuming the trend continues), it becomes difficult to support a refinery without sufficient throughput.

I do not know the make up of the costs and taxes in Australia on the cost of petrol. Which would impact how quickly (or if) price would decline.
