FuelWatch Thread

[Guest]

Fortunately for us awesome people who live on the cool side of the country get to learn tomorrow's fuel prices via the Fuel Watch website, if you didn't already know.

It started becoming a trend that the price for 98 RON would rise on a Thursday by a considerable margin, then gradually drop until the following Thursday when it would rise again. However, recently I've been caught out a couple of times when they have increased the prices a day or so earlier, so I thought it might come in handy to warn other people who don't check the Fuel Watch website as much of increasing prices.

Such as, tomorrow quite a few BP and Caltex stores are increasing the price of 98 RON at a few of their stores by 16c (link)

I'd be interested in knowing how much more it costs to refine 98RON fuel. And how much of a profit is made on each litre sold. This daily price fluctuation is pure BS.

BP and Caltex ULP Price Hike - Wednesday 1 July 2009
Some BP sites are hiking their ULP prices Wednesday by up to 16.4 cpl to 133.9 cpl. Also, a number of Caltex sites are hiking their ULP prices by up to 15 cpl to 132.9 cpl. This signals the start of a new price cycle, so Tuesday or Wednesday might be a good time to fill up your tank. On Wednesday there will be over 195 sites selling below the metropolitan average of 121.2 cpl.

Also holds true for BP Ultimate, looks like it will jump up ~16c at some stations tomorrow
