That was at Ginger's in North Swan. 47.9 today. Fuel pricing is
deliberately designed to be confusing. I travel 55 km to work. I pass
three servos, all on the other side of the road.

Three servos, all on my side of the road. But none of them are BP, and
it seems so silly not to use the company-issued BP card. I do a 500
metre detour when I need fuel.

Theo - I'm in Perth WA and I get the 4 cent a litre discount on vehicle LPG
from my local Caltex Woolworths servo at Hillarys and also from United (if
I have an IGA supermarket receipt). I only know of one Caltex Woolworths
servo that DOESN'T give the 4 cents discount on LPG as well as petrol.
Whereabouts are you?

But how did the original guy (Moike) only pay $0.40 /litre for fuel? Where
the heck did he buy that LPG from?
