red750 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Sometimes you can get lucky. For me it happens very rarely. But it happened tonight (no, not that, keep yourself nice!) Last Wednesday, the price of petrol 91 went up from $1.29.9c/l to 1.71.9c/l. at 7eleven and our local Caltex servo. My son was driving into town and phoned to say the price at the Shell servo at Forest Hill was still at the old price. I went down there, and the Woolies Caltex behind the Shell servo was also listing 1.29/l. However, I have a Woolies rewards card with discount vouchers on it, so I got the petrol for 1.25.9c/l. On $40 worth, that;s an extra $1.25, or virtually one litre free. At the local Caltex, that $40 worth would have cost me over $53.00. Not a fortune to most, but it means a lot to me. It doesn't take much to make some people happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_d Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I can't believe your fuel WAS 1.29. I haven't paid less than 1.49 for diesel in what seems like forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 What's ULP91 where you are? This is the first time it has topped 1.70. It has to be top of the cycle - school holidays started yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Roughly the same as diesel. They seem to hover around 1 cent apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
