Picked up a full tank of 98 at $2.16 after 4c discount. I now fill up at Hume on the way home on the Monaro Hwy which must turn over the tanks fairly regularly vs nearly $2.50 in the city or even near my house is $2.40+.

I think we are all being taken advantage of.
Arrived up here for a new job/stay at Barnawatha. Local indi servo off the hwy is 8 cents cheaper (diesel) 4 cents cheaper (91 petrol) than the big names down at the bigger towns. Mentioned in another thread in the Pub....... Same with the grocers, local IGA hasn't changed much regarding pricing, local fruit and veges at reasonable prices where as staying in Wang recently, both Coles and the Freshly Defrosted People have been jacking up the prices across the board since dispensing with their IGA competitor. Good example... Scotch fillet steak from their in house butcher $48p kg, local butcher here $43p kg. Bakery in town is better value too. Funny most small town people go to the larger ones thinking they will save more on shopping.

I get that because the people on the end of the supply chain have no choice but to pass on costs. Fuel prices seem to have fallen slightly in the past month, maybe a sign that supply isn’t as threatened as was thought three months ago….maybe natural gas is worse situation than petrol/diesel…… |

Fuel is $2.10 near home for 98. Still haven't needed to fill up yet. Might get closer to $2 soon for 98 (who thought we'd ever have $2 a litre and cheap in the same sentence)

Diesel follows a monthly price set whereas petrol moves almost daily in a 2 week cycle. Price of diesel should adjust in early August.

Most of the large transport companies are sporting 90km/h speed limited signs these days.

either sit or crawl in traffic for hours and they want to limit speed in open running motorways… I can’t see truckies agreeing with 90 kph, they’d never be able to get things done to tight timetables, interstate runs with compulsory breaks every five hours, I can see that adding more and more time to destination if the slower running means an additional rest break….

I notice more people tucking in behind my truck setting the cruise to 90km and getting a tow behind the truck in the slipstream its a pretty economical way to travel
