Petrol Price Hike 2
Listening to ABC Radio again David Cumming of the RACV stated that with an increase in oil barrell prices would see a petrol price rise of 10c a litre over time.
That morning I left for Echuca to sign up a couple more businesses to SmeB and noticed the Shell petrol station at the Lake had unleaded petrol at 119.9c per litre which was a low price. When I went past that night they had hiked their price to 128.9!!! The rest of the fuel outlets remained the same and did not rise.
Would you know it...Shell then dropped their price to 119.9 again.
What were they doing do you think?
Taking the advantage to raise their prices at the hint of a rise...and hoping the others would follow suit!!?
A lesson here again. Support the little fuel outlets and they will keep the big guys honest.
