I also use motormouth. They send me an email each morning with the cheapest, local to me, pulp98 prices. Makes it easy to save 18cents per litre.

I am lucky to live near a popular truck stop  where the diesel prices are always nearly the cheapest on the coast, I like to buy my diesel from the one place (unless on a trip of course) so I can easier prove where I got the fuel from in the event of issues......

Looks like the price may go down more yet due to OPEC not reducing the output of oil supply in face of the glut currently goin on.......if only I could store some cheap fuel eh?

Wholesale price is down 30% they reckon.  So why has the retail price at the pump not reflected this????   ESPECIALLY DIESEL???  We are being Ripped Again.

Thought that this thread might be the appropriate place to share a cheap fuel story ...

Have some friends who are presently touring South America on a motorcycle.

Presently in Venezuela - where ULP is $0.01 per litre - yes you read that right - they posted a photo of the fuel pump today where they added 10 litres - and it was all of 10 cents !!

Check out the global fuel prices - we are being ripped off bigtime !

so opec  have been crapping themselves for a few months from the shale production, they increase oil production to make it less profitable to harvest shale oil ?? and here i thought prices were going up because we were very quickly running out of crude... B.S

I always buy my fuel from a very small servo on the left, just as you drive into Camden, NSW ( Argyle Street, Camden)

Last filled up a week ago and paid $1.33 per litre for my diesel.  Never had any problem with their diesel

And still no change to the price of diesel.  $1.45 ish.  Is it made of something other than oil??
What is going on??!
Unleaded just under $1.30 in some places around Brisbane.   
If anyone knows someone who works for a current affair type of show - investigate that....

Diesel has been slowly falling from $1.619 a year ago to $1.439 in Renmark this week.

It makes a difference when you are putting 135 - 140ltrs into the Prado each fill.

Poggy - yes it's come down - according to these figures - by 11.1%.   Wholesale price is down 30% plus -  who's not playing ball??   I'm just a casual observer and I may be on the wrong track with these figures - someone prove me wrong - but Haaaahhh
