Is this the cheapest petrol in inland Australia
(Preview)
I filled up with E10 at Port Augusta this morning for $139.9per litre. At the Mogas servo on the highway just west of the bridge. I think it's worth supporting these guys who are having a go. By the way the toasted ham and cheese croissants were great as well.
