Who supplies these places to make it much cheaper? Fyshwick is only just a bit out of the way for me but Maruja is backtracking.

Line is fine, I fill up in the mornings and never wait. People whinge but I’ve never waited longer than 10 minutes in an afternoon.. Compared to Shell/BP in Fyshwick I save around $25-$30 per fill. For me, it makes it worth it. I’ve never had a single issue with their fuel.

Remember, Costco in Fyshwick is the sole reason our petrol in Canberra is no longer 20cents more than Sydney. Like it always was before they came to town. They used to blame the “freight” cost for the 20 cents.

We are all being rorted but since December I’ve saved $380 on fuel compared to filling up at the most expensive place within 5km of where I filled up at the time. I’ve kept a spreadsheet, might post it on here. $380 is two AU falcons, that’s 12 a year for filling up at the cheapest servo.

2 Walters Street, Craigieburn as of 6:30AM

All the ones on the main drag Craigieburn Rd are $2.319 for 91, managed to get 98 for $2.099

There's still some hovering low always off the beaten drag.

Some weird stuff going on with the prices at the moment. Usually when there is a huge disparity in prices between servos, the cheaper ones will catch up within a few days. But the big gaps have stayed for a couple of weeks now.

Just filled up on 98 for $2.08 in Wantirna. Drove a suburb over and its $2.5x. Crazy.

WTI and Brent are still in their 80s. Makes no sense.

Managed to get 98 for similar pricing at the Diggers Rest roadhouse on the way home yesterday. But yeah, everywhere else was $2.3x for 91.

Is everyone still using Petrol Spy?

Yep, I still use petrol spy when travelling. Was up in Newcastle and Shell was 2.329, 2km away at an independant it was 1.669. This was two weeks ago. I filled up with 62 litres, that's a $40 saving for driving 2km away, or 6 pints of beer at the local, i'll take it.

NSW Fuel Check
These are my regular pitstops between home and work. Well worth checking.

$1.73 for 91 @ Ampol Cavan S.A. this morning, 35c cheaper than anything else i saw.

91 has dropped to under $2 p/l in Melbs last couple of days.

Better stay that way for the long weekend!
