Default Doing it tough ?

Today local independent service station (Perth WA) ULP for $148.3 with the 4c discount. Not even a line up, generally in Perth petrol has slowly been getting cheaper over the last 2 years. Back in 2021 lanes were blocked at night waiting to get fuel in the $1.80s.
Strangely enough closure of the BP refinery may have something to do with this trend. Maybe it will get down to $1.00 later in May.

Good to hear fuel’s getting cheaper though, $1.48 is not bad at all

There's a huge variation here, I've seen ULP at $1.59 a litre, all the way to $2.09, all in the space of a few suburbs.

Melb is being screwed. For 98, $2.20 is the norm, with some places $2.70+

Was lucky to be doing a day trip to Port Arlington and passing Geelong. Filled up for $1.79.
