Nope. Let's face it, Coles & WW have the market cornered. They have both had 8c/l discounts advertised none stop between Xmas & Easter if you spend more than $30 in store, plus other larger special offers like this one on top of that. That means we're either paying too much for our groceries or too much for our fuel, or more likely too much for both, as they aren't doing it out of the goodness of their heart!
But the powers that be keep running their checks and saying that it's fair and there's no inflated prices and no price fixing. Mmmm, I don't think so! But there's not that much we can do about it and the prices are still a lot lower than I used to pay in the UK so what do you do? I have to say one of the great things for me about getting a diesel JK was the fact that the diesel prices are consistent. That weekly/fortnightly price cycle for petrol really used to p### me off. I felt like I was getting shafted every time I filled up because the price can change by the hour. Now there's no way the price the servos are paying for the fuel changes that frequently so how can they justify the prices they charge changing that frequently. That said, I've no idea if the diesel prices are fair either but at least they're consistent.
