Petrol 92 Cents In Sydney!

[Line 3]

A suburb in Sydney's west is gridlocked by queueing cars after neighbouring petrol stations set off a price war that has sent the cost of fuel below $1 a litre.

The independently-owned BP service station on Sunnyholt Rd in Blacktown cut its prices from $1.40 to 97.4c this morning, prompting the newly-reopened United garage down the road to follow suit.

The prices have subsequently dropped to 94c then 92c, creating further havoc on the roads.

If this did happen in perth, i dont tihnk i would be bothered to wait in a long queue to fill up.

unless of crse i was the first one to see it! then i would for sure!

Queues develop here if the price is below 1.40... what i dont get is that they queue for a good 15-20 mins to fill the car to save what? 3-4 bucks? Time is money people!

Although prices below 1 dollar you would save ~ 20ish dollars. Not a bad saving i guess... if you think that 1 minute of ur time is worth 1 dollar.....

This happened yesterday at Caltex in Carine. was $1.37 I think, so many cars you'd probably be waiting 30mins just to fill up. Definatley agree with you, really not worth it.

Realistically petrol should be around $1.25 at the moment

Even with the lower dollar, oil is that cheap and has been for a number of weeks ~ $1.25 should be the current price.

Where is the Gov't bodies checking it all now i wonder?

too busy collecting petrol taxes...

CAPTAIN OBVIOUS TO THE RESCUE!

We know whats wrong with our systems but cant do a damn thing about it; best labour could come up with is 'fuel watch'

I dont even look at prices anymore, i just fill up at night so i dont have to wait in a que.

BP near Sydney Uni was 1.38 today.. That suprised me.. 1.50 though for ultimate, but hey.. That's better than when I paid something like 1.85 a few months back.

Yeah I went right past that servo on the moment that was happening...Great if you got a few hours to spend waiting while hundreds if not thousands of cars are lining up..Sunnyholt rd was total gridlock all the way to Blacktown

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

Jus write off the loss at tax time lol... so eaither way.. it is cheap advertising

[GTR-32U]

The good part is that of the 2 servos that were doing this one of them is united and stocks 100 octane....So better keep an empty jerry can in the boot in case I time it right one day

mate this happend in melb and one guy was quoted as saying the herald sun that he saved $50 on fuel (so i would say he haves a 70L tank) most likly a ford. but a saveing of $40 to $50 dollers on this was the average depending on the car and fuel req.
