I filled up yesterday after I forgot on Wednesday and a whole chunk of places had upped their prices overnight. 20c is one thing but 50-60c is an easy minimum $20 saving on a full tank. Luckily there was no queue at the place yesterday, I once went to fill up at the last cheap station in the western suburbs a few months ago and it took 20 mins just to get to the fuel pump. Tensions were running high with traffic blocking the side street and what have you.

I went to fill up before the petrol prices all jumped 60c, apparently everyone else was doing the same. The queue was out onto the road.
I also grabbed a few essential groceries while I was out - milk, coffee, cat food and cheese.

I went past one last night that’s generally around the middle of the trend and it had already gone up. The tank was getting pretty empty after a couple of long drives so I put nearly 50 litres in, it would have been $27 more expensive to fill up at the more expensive one. Well worth a couple of minutes wait time.

For real. I estimated I saved about $20 on a 3/4 refill. Worth the detour. Especially if you’re doing long drives. Hopefully the cycle will be coming down next time you need to fill up! I’m kind of annoyed because I thought low crude oil prices = low fuel prices overall but nope, they’re still going to go up when the petrol station cartel decides to…

A little tip just for you. If you need petrol half way Bacchus Marsh always has the cheapest. 👍
