I saw it yesterday for $1.05 ($1.01 with a fuel voucher) - today it's rocketed up to $1.20! 15c in the space of a day... But it's wednesday. I've heard that fuel companies are 'reducing the price' earlier in the week and 'inflating the standard price' later on in the week to make up for it. Seems to explain the fluctuations we've seen lately - cheap on Mon and goes up on Wed. I know I'll be buying my fuel every Tuesday now...
