I went past one last night that's generally around the middle of the trend and it had already gone up. The tank was getting pretty empty after a couple of long drives so I put nearly 50 litres in, it would have been $27 more expensive to fill up at the more expensive one. Well worth a couple of minutes wait time.

For real. I estimated I saved about $20 on a 3/4 refill. Worth the detour. Especially if you're doing long drives. Hopefully the cycle will be coming down next time you need to fill up! I'm kind of annoyed because I thought low crude oil prices = low fuel prices overall but nope, they're still going to go up when the petrol station cartel decides to...
