I bought 95 premium ULP this morning for my P at 1.389.

Thanks all, interesting, wonder why the prices so much difference? is it that they take longer to sale there stock?

It's because ACCC only monitors fuel prices in the the 5 largest capital cities

Plus (I guess) there is probably a bit more competition for business in these densely populated areas.

Been a long time since I can remember a petrol price war in Tassie (unfortunately)

Just came back from Launceston today. Still 1.40 and higher, 1.12 here in Melbourne. There is some intentional price gouging going on according to reports.

Just Rick · **Reply #16: December 14, 2014, 10:49:12**

Most places here still selling diesel for 1.45 range,I am getting mine for 1.38

Dazz i was reading in NRMA Open Road this past month, & they where questioning how some country towns set there fuel prices, so with NRMA looking at it hopefully we will get something done.
we have a price war on down here, since some new boys moved in.
but some towns have there prices 10 cents higher.

Dazzler · **Reply #18: December 14, 2014, 21:28:47**

Thanks John, RACT make a bit of noise about it and sometimes it comes down a few cents .. but not to a fair price.

If you were going to have a petrol station, looks like regional areas is the place to have them!

Zoom · **Reply #19: December 18, 2014, 10:26:42**

Apparently the price gouge by Iran and USA is to put the squeeze on Russia, they are just about bust. But that's not what mainstream news is reporting.

Dazz NRMA have a lot of Clout in NSW don't think we have RAC but i know other states do.
I think Tassie is run by Greenies so they would not care .

That's good Dazz. we got a new BP servo in town just opened diesel $1.39.9 , i've got to drive to Sydney Tuesday so see what it is up there, i was in Bega yesterday & it was $1.56.9 in a woolies servo, they always rip you off in Bega not sure why the Fuel dearer in Batemans Bay too you only have to drive 30k north of Batemans Bay & Diesel is 25cent per L cheaper. hard to work out.

Dazzler · **Reply #25: December 20, 2014, 04:00:27**

There is a concerted push down here (no doubt started by my rants on here and facebook

) to get fairer pricing.. (it was in the newspaper today)

FatBoy · **Reply #26: December 20, 2014, 05:30:53**

Apparently the ACCC have been asked by the Tasmanian State Government to investigate fuel prices. The claim is the mark up at the bowser is twice the mainland average.

Merry Christmas,
Well I'm in Sydney now, Diesel not much different in price here than down where I live now. Cheapest diesel I've seen $1.36 . Before I left home I payed $1.38.6
But petrol is a lot cheaper they even post the price of 98 ultimate up. Saw that for $1.30

tohis · **Reply #29: December 24, 2014, 21:23:02**

Few days ago I paid 1.289 EUR per liter for diesel, and 95 octane petrol would have been 1.389 EUR. At July they were about 1.52 and 1.70 respectively.

Some people at here goes regularly to Russia for filling their tanks (only 100 km to the border from where I live). Even before the Russian Roubles exchange rate plummeting recently, the fuel at the other side cost about half than in Finland, and now it's even cheaper at there.
