If you're filling a typical Commodore or Falcon (say 60 litres only, could be over 70 litres) that's a saving of $42.

OK 70c is the extreme case, but say it's "only" a 50c disparity, you're still saving $30 !!

In these tough times $30-$40 goes a long way.

Clearly I CBF'd calculating it, but by all means jump on the phone and find the best deal. Drive 10 mins out of your way and save save save.

We have been paying $$ for ages and now all of a sudden its a problem.

Has anyone's income actually stopped? If so sure be angry, but best you stop driving then.

This whole saga will show how superficial and precious everyone is, bigger things to worry about the fuel prices if your not driving to work.
