Default Fuel @ $1.09.9 in QLD

Travelling back from the coast yesterday afternoon I spotted a BP servo at Nerang on the M1 with unleaded fuel at $1.09.9.
I'm lovin the newly found oil reserves.

Cheers

You have to admit it would be far better than the 'smart state' :


I got my fuel on Friday night (premium unleaded) for around $1.10, which I was sort of happy with.. to make things even better would be to see it drop below the dollar mark (pfft as if that is ever gonna happen though :newangel: )

What new oil reserves? The reason the price went up wasn't because we are running out.

Still bloody $1.31 her in central qld. Sucks big time. How can it vary so much. We aren't that far away from brissy and the gold coast. Why has it not yet dropped.
