Default petrol

I have noticed that for nearly 3 weeks at the 2 local woolies petrol stations the price of unleaded has not altered at all. this seems odd as usually it changes every other day (by varying margins)
So, the price is $111.09 per litre or $107.09 with the 4c voucher, has anyone else noticed a 'price freeze' at their local petrol station and out of interest how much are you paying?
I did hear about the people over east who did a 'happy hour' today reducing theirs to 50c per litre but I am more interested in the normal average prices you are all experiencing at the moment
thanks

It peaked at 124 last week, yesterday 117 - discount voucher. For one day it got to 108, I bought it then obviously.

Its interesting that petrol in Qld is supposed to be about 8c a litre cheaper due to a state subsidy, been in syd and melb recently and found petrol about the same. Consumers never seem to kick up a fuss in OZ I think they like to be ripped off or are just used to it.

Oil was down to $35 a barrel recently petrol was still around the 118, I realise the currency fluctuations, but surely the avg aussie could work out, that oils at $150.00 a barrel petrol is 155 then oil at $35.00 a barrel does not mean 118

On that scale I wonder what the 2 supermarket giants who bought out most of the petrol stations will charge when oil goes back to $150 a barrel, they are grooming the consumer for $3/4 a litre.

I remember around xmas someone on the news saying that 2009 will see petrol drop to 80c / L... that was when petrol dropped to around the $1 mark... funnily enough since he opened his mouth petrol has gone up... its sitting at 1.20 round here but diesel seems to have dropped though.
