Default Oz petrol prices

A friend has just sent me this website :

www.fuelwatch.wa.gov.au

it allows you to find the cheapest petrol prices in WA.

Don't know if you'll find it helpful or not but it also lets you know if there's going to be a price hike the next day !!

Every cent counts

Queensland has the lowest fuel tax in Oz (or at least one of the lowest). Its much more expensive in WA.

Fuel has gone down quite a bit; I'd hardly noticed until the other day.

Without being cynical, I'll bet it will rise by at least 10-15 cents per litre by Christmas, if not more.

one of the petrol stations near me (NSW) was priced 108.9 on Weds morning, by the evening it had gone up to 126.9. I know prices vary day to day, but 18c increase in one day is a bit much

No, but its possible that another state could also have zero rate tax and then it would also be one of the lowest.

went to bunnings the other day and petrol was 103.9 at 9:30am at our local station, came back past it around 11am and it was 121.9. Also it goes up alot when you get a long weekend and i found wednesdays and sundays seem cheaper at most local petrol stations

What's annoying is the huge gap between petrol and diesel. When we arrived diesel was on average 5 cents cheaper than petrol, three yrs later petrol is 99 cents per litre [95c with a voucher] diesel is still $1.19. Thats a dollar per gallon difference or $14 bucks a tank. Rip off petrochemical companies.
