Petrol rip-off
The local service stations are again ripping off the people of the Central Coast.
For the past week, Sydney has enjoyed prices up to 15 cents lower per litre and today's (15 November) television news said that the price of petrol has been at its lowest.
But us bunnies still pay higher prices.
Do we pay higher prices because the Coles-Woolworths provide eight cent discount vouchers and because they have a December expiry date?
Petrol prices will remain high so they may recoup-balance out.
The fuel conglomerates know that we can basically do nothing.
If the petrol watchdog does something, it's too late.
Perhaps we should invite an independent service station, like 7-11, to the Peninsula.
