I understand Petrol Spy pricing is input by users. Maybe some people make errors but I wonder if opposition stations deliberately input high prices on a competitor station to get more customers.
In Oakleigh in Melbourne's South Eastern Suburbs, A One fuel a small Ampol (was a Caltex) is well known for having Cheap Fuel.
I have looked up LPG prices and have seen higher prices quoted on Petrol Spy than competitors in the area.
I have driven there and the price is much cheaper. After filling up I have asked the cashier has the price gone down today and have been told no.
I have been told in Melbourne prices are very volatile near Costco Stations. When Costco is open nearby competitors drop the price and when the Costco closes in the evening the prices go up again.
