I saw it yesterday for $1.05 ($1.01 with a fuel voucher) - today it's rocketed up to $1.20! 15c in the space of a day... But it's wednesday. I've heard that fuel companies are 'reducing the price' earlier in the week and 'inflating the standard price' later on in the week to make up for it. Seems to explain the fluctuations we've seen lately - cheap on Mon and goes up on Wed. I know I'll be buying my fuel every Tuesday now...

I make sure i got my 'servo saver' docket every time i pull into the servo, savings of up to $6 on 40L of fuel! Its seems its just the way its going be with prices, every little saving helps and goes toward the money pit seen in avatar
