Costco Fuel

[GAFA]

Massive price war going on around the suburbs located near Brisbane's Costco. Unleaded is as low as 130.9, with all the majors now undercutting Coscto. This time last week the same majors were selling unleaded for 163.9.

Just proves how much we are getting ripped off by the fuel companies.

I do the same thing, only problem is the line up of car at the bowser and traffic with the maccas in the same lot.

Woolworths/Caltex on Anzac Ave Mango Hill was 130.9 this morning with the 4c per litre discount. Matilda on Anzac Ave was 133.7 yesterday.

Yeah I have only seen the local ones only about 1c cheaper, not counting discount prices I never look at them. Filled up at bp yesterday though and their 91 was 1c cheaper but 98 was still 7c more expensive than costco. If it stays like that I reckon I'll be making a visit to costco to try it

I think someone needs to be doing some questioning of the oil companies if its a $1.74 in Darwin. After all Darwin is only a short boat ride from one of the largest refinery sectors in the world, as in Singapore. At 66 cents a litre for the oil part in petrol, 10 cents for refinery and transport, 38 cents excise and around 11 cents in GST, the wholesale cant be more than $1.25 a litre. Even Adelaide, which doesnt have a refinery, and gets a great deal of its oil from the likes of Singapore, is selling petrol at approx. $1.38 now.

People dont realise that if you are using fuel for transport (whilst meeting certain criteria), then you can get fuel for an effective price of around 80 cents a litre now. Theres almost a business case for a smart operator to get petrol in Adelaide, and supply to the Darwin and to a better extent, the Alice Springs market (last price about $1.80 a litre).
