Bring it on. G'day Jim

Don't believe it Tonz, We both know they're all keeping their prices up because they can. Historically Shell Tasman has been the market leader and kept the price in check and the independents were always 5cpl higher on petrol and 8-12cpl on LPG. Now they're all the same within 1c which tells me they're all in on it now. The independents COULD bring their price down but don't because Coles and Woolies haven't brought their prices down. Coles and Woolies, of coarse, are using the "market forces" excuse and blaming everyone else for the prices, I'll send you the emails I got back from them when I complained if you like. When Hales in Tumby Bay (and he pays COD for all his fuels), can match Pt Lincoln prices on petrol and diesel and UNDERCUT the LPG price by 8cpl you KNOW all the servos in Lincoln are gouging eveyone.
