Same old story

Yes, we have the same old story about petrol pricing (PN399, August 8, "Let's do something about petrol pricing").

It appears that the price of crude oil never seems to meet the Consumer Price Index in the actual price of the barrel.

Why can't the Peninsula have cheaper petrol prices, the same as our Newcastle and Sydney counterparts who pay less by the litre?

There is a Facebook page ("Fair Fuel Prices for the Peninsula") naming the service stations that have higher petrol prices and those service stations that charge less.

The independent service stations are the cheapest in price per litre and that's why motorists choose to budget so that they can go places with their families and friends and travel to work each day without being hit in the hip pocket.
