Fuel Companies gouging customers in Australia

Prices in Perth at some stations are 60 cents higher than the independent stations.
Still baffles me why people want to pay an exorbitant price when a short drive may save them up to $30 a tank
I always shop at the lowest priced servo in my area.

What is the price in Australia? In Florida it’s $2.95 a gallon.

Converted to US$ petrol in Perth is $4.18 gallon

I have been noticing when the fuel price is at it’s highest, there are no cars at the bowsers

In 2009, 2010 our gas was that high. I spent a fortune taking son to private school in another city…:woozy_face:
Thank goodness i live in a town where everything is 1 mile away. I only drive to grocery store or doctors.

At a servo in Wollongong (there are cheaper and more expensive ones) they are cents per litre

So in US Gallons E10 is 187.7 x 3.8 = AUS$7.13 =US $4.65/gall

Diesel 173,7 x 3.8 = AUS$6.6 = US$4.30/gall

even worse in Imperial gallons

There is nothing us mere consumers can do about it either.
Which is why I always use the independants. Ranginging from $1.52 - $1.62
