Petrol Price Hike
Just before the opening of the Commonwealth Games and the start of the school holidays petrol prices took a price hike of up to 10c per litre.
Many people rang into ABC regional radio complaining in many towns.
In Shepparton the main Shell petrol station at the Victoria Lake was around 10c higher than the independent Shell on Melbourne Rd. A few others in town followed suit.
The big guys were getting greedy.
Both Scratch me Back fuel outlets remained much cheaper.
It wasn't long before the prices returned to what they were.
It is crucial that the small petrol stations survive to keep the big guys honest.
Scratch me Back allows the little guys to get extra trade and lessens the need to raise fuel prices when the big guys do.
