BP are major rip off merchants. Hubby has to use them for the works van. Has to drive past Caltex etc where it's always about 5cents cheaper. Why do businesses use their cards?

So those that fill up on the weekend can subsidise those of us who fill up in the week.

Because Tuesday (or Wednesday) is Discount day in Australia

I've noticed many discounts on Tuesdays,
Pizza's at $3.99
New Release DVD at $1.95 overnight
etc

Re: Petrol $1.10/litre

$1.06 on Wed at Forest Hill East Melbourne & predicted to fall further next week. Maybe less than 90c in QLD with govt subsidy or is that wishful thinking?
