Petrol is artificially kept high in cost, because of all the tax and duties imposed by the State AND Federal Governments.
It is in the Governments own interests to keep the price of fuel as high as they can.
The Fuel Companies only do the Governments bidding when it comes to setting the cost.

Would these petrol companies be getting tax cuts from Turnbull's big business plan. Another bonus for them if they do.
who knows.....it's hardly like the Labor party has done anything about fuel prices over the years, so what's it matter....they are both as useless as each other  ::)

Not as if the price would go down either, even if they got tax cuts.

Was $2.04 in Bamaga recently and pretty much $2.00 everywhere else up there.

The variance in fuel prices is absolutely ridiculous.........on our recent trip to cape york, the prices were between 10c and 20c a litre cheaper out of town than in the town itself however, the cape york "tax" still applies to anything and everything north of Cairns!!

"fuel map Australia" is an awesome app. Done by the wikicamp people. The more info you add to it, the better it becomes.

found it quite handy on our recent outback trip...Roma and Barcaldine for instance were 2 places I bought at that had decent price differance between buying fuel in town or on it's outskirts

I was filling up at the new United when it first opened at 14c a litre cheaper than in town. I didn't get very good mileage & the car ran like Shit after a few tanks. Trust my car to like the dear stuff. Back to BP for me.
We live pretty much over the road from there, at least we have a convenience store near by now

my cheapest local is a BP, so that's what the vehicle normally gets. I  can't say I noticed a huge differance in kilometers each tank on our trip though, and definately didn't drive any different with cheaper branded fuels onboard.

Filled up at the new Cosco outlet last week. Passed 4 others on the way there. Cosco was 20c per litre cheaper than all 4. Running 4 cars makes the 5 min drive worth while.
