Petrol looks like it's going up around the place today. My two local Ampols were 2.04 and 1.66.
I'm getting 164.9 on my 7/11 app as best local price, so good idea to lock in a price.
Just be mindful that the max discount you can get is 25c a litre.
Stopped using 7/11 even since they made that change.
Yep, I heard your warning a couple days ago and filled up yesterday at 1.69 (1.65 was too far away). Passed by plenty of places over 2.00. Thanks for the reminder, I was down to 20% and have a couple more longer than usual drives to do and suspect prices will not go down much till after Anzac Day.
It was going up yesterday too, I reckon they'll all have shot up by the holidays and stay up for them. The price shoots up and trickles down.
Yeah. Iโm hoping that the stations near me hold steady until Tuesday or Wednesday so I can fill up.
I feel like they might not hold out that long. The weekend of good weather is nigh! Maybe if you're lucky they'll only go up to 1.80
Iโm feeling like that too, the stations near me are usually the last to change so thereโs hope yet but do still have 2/3rds of a tank so I might be able to hold out till after Easter
Oh good, especially as iirc you have some time off from work and won't need to drive as much hopefully. I rarely fill up as I don't use my car that much but at $70+ a tank it does make me gulp when I do. Miss the precovid prices when I just got my first car.
holy shit! better go fill up, cheers!
