Saw this news story today, that petrol is spiking up to $1.65 a litre. My local servos are still down around $1.45, so who knows. We were warned of a jump to $1.70 the other week. I just got some 100 octane for $1.63.
Story here: http://www.news.com.au/national-news...-1226683866103 I found this table quite interesting too:  Wonder what the relative pay packets are like in Turkey and Norway.

The average Australian drives a lot more than the average European, due to our cities being so sprawled and our philosophy on expansion results in urban sprawling to try and keep the Aussie back yard dream alive.
A lot of European cities are more compressed and also a lot closer together. Plus public transport is far superior, so the need to drive is a lot lower. So paying over $2 per litre in Europe is not really that bad. However as were a lot more reliant on driving, the impact or rising petrol prices is far greater.

Yes servos in Clayton are up at 1.60. I payed 1.57 for my 95. If ever there was a compelling reason to go LPG, this is it.

The last rise in Sydney (friday 19th) was a bit more interesting than usual. We were warned a few days out, Coles and Woolies jumped on cue. BP, 7/11 and United held out over the weekend. I saw a BP or 2 and 7/11 rise on Monday/Tuesday, United example still at $1.41 for E10. So....witnessed a Coles Shell on $1.62 for 5 days whilst united was at $1.41, detecting a real shift in the Sydney pricing strategy.

Good chart Dauphin - would like to see the same one showing the tax per litre compared to total cost per litre. Every time fuel goes up the tax component goes up as well and we still have roads that are worse than under developed countries here in Central Queensland.

how odd the price sky-rocketed almost as soon as coles and woollies started offering 16-17c a litre off. As soon as that offer is over the price will drop i bet, just as it did last time they both offered massive savings.
