PAH Donating Members 361 Member For: 15y 10m 6d Gender: Male Posted 09/06/16 05:16 PM Share Posted 09/06/16 05:16 PM Guys, So what's your favourite brand of 98 RON? Conch? Wasp Piss? Bee Pee? On a recent trip to Melbourne, I filled up with BP in Albury at $1.30/L for 98 RON. I arrive back in Sydney and it's up around $1.57/L this week. There's a 7-11 across the road and they're selling at $1.32/L for 98 RON. No it's not my favourite drop, but at circa 25 cpl cheaper, I will buy it. If they can sell 98 RON in the country town of Albury for $130/L and if 7-11 can sell it in Sydney at circa $130/L when the guys across the road are asking $1.57/L, it looks to me like some of them are having a lend of us. And 7-11 at more than 20 cpl cheaper is not an isolated incident out my way. I hope that 7-11 pulls the other guys into gear so I can go back to my favourite brand.

Posted 09/06/16 11:45 PM Share Posted 09/06/16 11:45 PM BP are always more expensive, I've been following FuelWatch more than usual the last month and most BP's sit at the same pricing, there's no competition amongst most of them, except the Subiaco store which is usually a few cents cheaper. As I visit mum down in Mandurah, work in East Perth, live in Wast Perth and shop in Innaloo, I use all the local stations around me.

I use it all the time to save money. I love it when people think saving like 25 cents a litre is pointless effort. the reason they get away with this pricing bullsh*t is that 'they're all paying a similar price wholesale' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilko16 Donating Members 1,672 Member For: 17y 4d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 09/06/16 11:51 PM Share Posted 09/06/16 11:51 PM I disagree I think base fuel is all the same, but each of the major fuel company's have there own blends. I work on fuel tankers everyday and have noticed that product indicators for each compartment (rotating barrel with many different labels on it) That there is Unleaded 95 unleaded Premium unleaded E85 Diesel E10 BP Ultimate Voterx Premium Now if they were all the same why would they bother putting two extra labels if all 98 is premium unleaded I don't have any hard evidence though Just my thoughts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean in terms of storage quality and maintenance upkeep of facilities/functions associated with the fuel itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
