I don't know how the BP at Colinton can sell at such low prices. They have been doing it for years. You are driving along, and then you come across a servo with the cheapest prices west of the divide in the middle of nowhere, like a mirage.

went and filled up this morning in Casino $1.39-7 lt, and $95.00 to fill an
already 1/4 filled tank. I love how they are allowed to attach a 0.x of a
cent, like bananna's are scarce but I dont see them being sold @ $5.00-5
per kg. They're already saying it's going to sky rocket during the week.
But oh well what can you do, when it seems any excuse to up the fuel
price is a goer even though supplies haven't been disrupted. And they
will prolly keep telling us that line long after any cause for concern has
passed. Two weeks ago it was someone else not even anywhere near
oil producing regions.

PS: Next year I've leave a week earlier for astrofest and take the neigbors
horse and cart lol...

Just got back from the Astrofest Duckadang...just went for a day visit to meet some more of the iceinspace members....it was nice to meet another 8 members to add to my ever growing list.
Weather was very cloudy with occasional showers.....Houghy and Jennette were upset the counter weight throwing competition was cancelled due to insurance cover for sporting events.
Houghy has some nice images he is done through his ED80....yet to be processed.
I timed it to perfection so I was included in the Group photo both the general Astrofest and Iceinspace photo......lol
Dennis has in ambaracing but educational conversation that he can explain....lol

Geez you're a young bloke Houghy.
It was 11 cents a litre when I started driving. I used to overfill my 1968 model Fiat 124 sports on $5 worth of juice.
I once recall driving into a service station and then driving out because his fuel was too expensive at 14.2 cents per litre. I noticed the sign on the one next door at 12.8 cents per litre so I drove out of one into the other. If only they were still around

Wow, what a weekend!
It was a pity about the cloud on Saturday night, but that just meant that there was some serious socializing to be done.
"The Dennis Incident" will certainly be remembered for quite a while.
I'll post some piccies of the weekend later.
