I like your optimism, but there's no hope that change will flow on to the bowsers here before xmas!

I picked up 98 for 202.9 c/l in Berwick on Monday. Meanwhile, 150km down the road here in Sale, 91 is 199.9 cpl.
Naturally, the prices over xmas will be higher than what they would otherwise be! That's more reliable than the weather being inconsistent ![]()

Use sleven app to lock in the price for the week.
Coles is offering 8c off fuel when you spend $30, until end of Dec. Add that to the 4c you get off from apps like AFL and Carsales, thats 12c off a tank.

It's absolutely bonkers in Toowoomba... Most places start at $2.2-odd for e10
With a few select places starting down around $1.79. It all jumped a couple weeks ago and has been static since. |

It will all drop close to Xmas like usual sometimes just after but greed to secure the Holliday motorist will surely happen
If you need to fill the closer tonew year you can wait the better

Not much use to me, unfortunately, T3. I think the nearest sleven to me is 180km away

Yes. 12c per fill / tank.
Carsales and AFL apps are partnered with Shell, so if you scan the barcode in their app, you get 4c off all the time. Coles is giving 8c off when you spend over $30. Its been running for a couple of months now and will continue until end of Dec. So if you piggy them, 8 + 4 = 12c off. Unfortunately you can't piggy back carsales and AFL. Quote:

Oh ok thanks.
I can see saving IF you do a job working k’s weekly on the road but for general use meh unless your on 50k making ends meet for eg. I’m looking at it purely being on a good salary that I couldn’t be buggered loading this app that app - PIA as it is do you have flybuys yadda yadda - I just want to pay instead of bar coding this and that and please I don’t need those long servo receipts with those pitiful discounts and save the paper more than anything else ffs.

Some stations have gone up to $2.15 for ULP. The $1.75 are still there but getting fewer by the day.
Merry Christmas everyone!

haha CORRECTION "another way to 'take' money" straight out theft. How it is done is like this; a little at a time. The new carbon tax will be a little bit that no one will worry about.

French yellow vests started up after raising of further tax on diesel, which most workers use there - and proposed bans of diesels in town areas... C'est le merde...

Filled up again, 165.9 at Launching Place, few kms down the road at Seville $215.9.
Such a crazy disparity down here. Blows my mind that people are filling up at the expensive places as well, literally costing them $30 - $45 a fill extra.
