It's about $1.05 at the cheapest part of the week here in Adelaide ATM.

Not that I drive far enough these days to make any difference.

The QLD government subsidize the oil companies 8cents a liter. Which means at any given time petrol should be cheaper in QLD but that's not always the case.
Just one more way for the oil companies to rip us off.

Slightly off subject but does anyone know why Caltex vortex went up 3cents a liter, it use to be 6cents more than unleaded but now its 9cents?

Yes, sorry. It's sold by United, made with CSR's sugar and they market it as E94 but it's rated at 95 RON.

We pay 1.27 a lt out here and think that that is good!! (we did see 1.89 per lt last year ) however with the oil price trying to go up despite lower world use
we will soon say that "these were the good old days "!! :
