Sorry mate,

Bad choice of words.

I realize that It's the heirachy of the tyre companies in Australia that sets the tyre prices and they are the ones reaping the massive profits, similar setup to the oil companies. Filled up this morning at $1.06. Came past the same servo two hours later and its was $1,30. Unfortunately, Tirerack doesn't sell petrol.
