Default Re: City v Regional, Petrol Rip off

I realise there is a price difference between the country & the city. I can understand 5c-10c difference which sometimes it can be.

The reason why I am questioning this is because the average price difference has grown from less than 5c to 20c in 12 weeks. Because the petrol stations havent passed on the drop in fuel prices in regional areas, which is a ripoff.

In NZ petrol price is very stable... Out of way locations only added very little to the cost.

The United servos are usually the cheapest ones despite being on the main drag (all of the servos are on the main drag anyway in Bathurst).

Here are some prices at other servos on the way home.

Blackheath



I couldnt get a pic at Mount Victoria but the Caltex was within a couple of cents of the United at Medlow Bath

South Bowenfells (just out of Lithgow)


Yetholm


Raglan


Kelso



Bathurst
