Default What are you paying for fuel.

With the price of oil nearly halving in the last little while i was wondering when it would show at the pumps. I went to fill up the ute this afternoon and the price at the local United Fuel in the Whitsundays for premium E10 95 was $1.12.7 with a 4c shopper docket discount, i was a little surprised as this is a substancial drop in price, what are you paying for fuel in your area around Australia.

My maths say we should be at 90c/L with the cost of a barrel.

Just sayin'

I noticed this morning, regular unleaded was 1.19 in Vic. I only buy premium BP Ultimate or Optimax, think it's still over 1.30 at the moment

91's been $1.27 in Brisbane for a week or so now.

$1.12 for E10 probably means that servo's selling normal petrol for $1.16 or $1.17 which means you're bloody stealing it Tom!!!

I dont know about stealing it, i bet they are still making their same margin.
Someone told me that the fuel here is the cheapest in Qld and going by the prices coming in it looks that way, i dont know why when they have to truck it 150ks from Mackay and thats where the main storage tanks are and Mackay is a lot dearer with no freight, mining town prices like Gladstone.
Those prices in other capital cities like Perth and Adelaide and down south look pretty good, still seems to be a fairly big variation across the nation when the price of crude has dropped from $115 a barrel to $60, i wonder what Boxhead is paying in the Alice.
