It used to 6c above ULP pump price, now it's 7c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't even give me any names of places around the bay where I could get some premium from, even though just north of the bay, in Braidwood and Milton premo is available.The same thing happened at the southbound side at Sutton Forest. At least the northbound side still had some left in their tanks...Luckily my local shell in Canberra (Tuggeranong) has plenty of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally dont go near any Ultimate or Synergy.Looks like some extra out of the way driving for fuel until some of that 98 ron Vortex is available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
