We used to be the cheapest but the mongrels used the removal of the 10c or whatever State Govt subsidy a few years ago to propel us into being the dearest.
We buy our diesel at Mango Hill on the north side of diesel at the Woolies servo there for $1.17 there last week. Seems Costco has put some competition into the area.

In Batemans Bay, theres only Caltex and Coles Express (haven't found any independent ones tucked away yet). They all sell diesel at $143.9.
Go out of town and its cheaper - obviously tourists are rich, so charge them more !!
Went down to Bega last week and all the towns - and Bega - were up to 12c a litre cheaper - and that included Caltex and Coles....
These two and BP manipulate the prices throughout the country to maximize their profits. On todays business news these outfits have had their highest profits in the last 5 years that's every year, higher than the previous one)

The amazing things you see when nomading Australia
A week ago I filled up in Melbourne for $1.17 a litre (unleaded). Came back to Benalla and it was $1.39 a litre (with either of the two supermarket's 4 cents off). Don't they just love to rip off country people!!!

"Yep" You're dead right there, Benalla-ite They are still ripping off the Travelling Public in the Country towns here in the West as well,
I've just done a check on Country prices for W.A. here's a short run down.....
GODLFIELDS, Esperance from 133.9 to 139.9 in Boulder
PILBARA, Wedgefield from 133.9 to 145.9 in Newman
GASCOYNE, Carnarvon from 143.9 to 155.8 in Exmouth
KIMBERLEY, Broome from 137.9 to 158.9 in Fitzroy Crossing
These are the lowest and the highest prices for each Region,

If you get the "Fuel Map" app for smart phones, it keeps track of prices virtually everywhere in real time, as people enter the new price they have just payed. You can also check where you are heading for best deals without driving round looking.
They're not just ripping of the travelling public. I live in a small country town and don't want to travel 100 kms to get cheaper fuel, they rip of the locals all the time.
