Default Sunoco 260GT

100 octane $8.50 gallon at the pump

I was paying $12.50 a gallon for VP 108 octane but that was in 15 gallon containers and not practical.

I'm about 70 miles from Dwight and I paid $4.29 per gallon for 93 non-ethanol about a month ago. I'm sure there are other stations selling non-ethanol fuel over the mountain in Huntsville and after reading this thread, I'm curious to know what they are charging compared what I've paid at the local Conoco.

Diesel is still at $1.48 here and north QLD and going by the letters to the editor in the paper, people are really starting to spew, more MEGA profits to the corporations, if only it went down as quick as it goes up, what a ripoff.

most gas station in North Alabama are selling 87 ethanol for $2.10

Ok someone needs to convert liter to gallons and dollars to Aussie dollars to see what the real different is.
It's dropping so fast if pays to wait to fill your tank. Not like the Brush years

1 US gallon = 3.78541 Litres
AU$1 = US$0.82

So 1 US gallon in AU would cost around $5.50
and 1 Litre in USD at Cosco ($1.95) would cost just over US$0.51

We have had a huge drop in price out here over past couple of weeks.
I just refueled at an advertised price with no discount vouchers at $159.9 for diesel.

The past 2 days ours has gone back to $1.23 for no reason...
A 15c price increase sounds like price gouging for new years.

Just been down the servo, when oil was $120 a barrell diesel was selling for $1.45 a liter, oil is now about $50 a barrell and diesel dropped only to $1.41 last week and has now gone up to $1.47.9 the dearest it has ever been, now if that is not blatent price gouging ill stand rooting, where is the ACCC and the politicians on this,,,, snoozing.

We are down to $139.9 for 91 and diesel about $1.44. I think we are getting ripped off up here!
