Yeah it's coming down a little bit, just a shame the AU$ is weak against the US$ otherwise it would be even cheaper.

I don't think I'll lose any sleep if a recession in the states means cheaper petrol for me.

this was my initial thought too. prices were going up due to the dwindling supply and the high demand. as the 'global financial crisis' puts a bit of a squeeze on, demand may decrease a little but the reserves don't change. price comes down, people start using again and the demand is back. obviously the stories they tell to jack the price up don't have to make sense when the economy starts to fall. |

Winter is coming to U.S which was an excuse last year!!
It doesn't seem to be applicable now!! I would say the oil speculators have had their fingers burnt in credit crisis... Sheesh I feel for them !! Yea right !!!

I'll believe prices are cheaper at the pump when the price saving per barrel is filtered thru to the consumer. Until then, ALL petroleum companies suck

Just paid $1.52 for 95. Missed out on the 94c out at Blacktown earlier today. That looked nuts out there though...

I cant believe people line up like that for cheap fuel, i really dont see the point. But lower prices are good, but owning a V8 i cant really argue
