Fair go is running a story tonight on the share tank app and if it is a form of money grab.
I presume due to the inability to consume all litres bought once you get down to less than 3

Isn't it oddly convenient that prices are dropping right before the tax relief is stopped.....

So much for a nice gradual drop before the tax comes back on that was happening.

Z have skyrocketed nearly 20c.

While you get discount locations around the 2.20 for 91 in chc, their retail price is suddenly 2.43

Last week, Pioneer New world in Palmy were running a promo if you spend more than $60 in store, you got a 15c/L off fuel voucher.

 

Used it yesterday to drop the standard price of 91 from $2.08/L down to $1.93/L. Haven't had prices like that for a hot minute.

Reminder to all that the Fuel Tax discount ends on the 30th which is Friday next week, I believe the price will be going up about 30c/L.

 

Good time to load up Z Sharetank?

 

Also the Public Transport discount is ending, however have found out the Snapper card can hold 2 monthly passes so try to buy ahead of you can.

Was just discussing this with a colleague.  Apparently a monthly pass isn't activated until you tag on so you could go and stock up on Snapper cards at $10 - $12 a pop and pre-load monthlies and start using those in subsequent months.





Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

1/2 price fares in Wallington probably wont end on 30 June, ...

 

The council aren't able to roll out the free kids and 1/2 price under 15 yet ( they currently hold no age info for snapper users).. 

 

So there is a special regional council meeting tomorrow (22nd) , that is likely to approve an extension of 1/2 price for every one until some time in August...
