I've been lucky still getting 116.9 Diesel. but..................
Sad that Jaahn. Shell has settled down a bit with the Diesel price, but it is still high in Melbourne with 127.9 the average, but then we seem to be re-routing our trips so that we get our 116.9 Diesel Price and as we drove back to Melbourne along Bell Street, there was one lone BP Station near Merri Creek that doesn't want to sell fuel to anyone but brain dead motorists who last Monday were 147.9 a Litre for Diesel, now that is a dead set rip off as even the Heidleberg West BP was in the 127.9 range, but our full tank meant no need to purchase Diesel for a week or so and I get to visit my older brother in Bendigo as well!
How about those that have converted to LPG or have modern LPG fuelled vehicles? Gas prices in Melbourne that used to be in the 50's range of prices are now 69c a litre on average and I saw one at 75 cents a litre How is that for you Interstate guys? NO excuse for those extremes in prices IMHO!
Need a new Motorists advocate in the Federal Parliament. Hope Fuel prices get some coverage in the upcoming Queensland Election - has the Election announcement done anything to lower prices there?
Need to keep up the pressure on the pollies I think.
Keep your observations coming in on those local pricing changes. There was an article suggesting that NSW had better fuel pricing legislation but my casual observation of just over the border pricing doesn't seem to indicate much effect, In Echuca Moama prices lately seem uncompetitive - same basic pricing structure either side of the border and United doesn't seem to be keeping prices down like they used too. Sad really for country motorists.

Hi,
It appears that the price of fuel has jumped very recently here in Newcastle. I went to get some 95 and was astonished to see prices of 160+ . However on Fuel watch the best price today is 148 near me. That is at independents.
Shell service stations here seem intent on driving customers away with their prices. 160 on fuel watch. However the Coles ones can offer up to 20c a liter off with silly offers. So they rip off other customers 20c.
