Has anyone else noticed how dramatically different the seperate BP's have been fluctuating on their prices lateley. Fortnight ago the Tea Tree Gully area BP's went up to 138 for a week while the Bp on St.Benards RD (right next to a shell) stayed at 122 for the entire week. And now i filled up yesterday at 121 and a couple BP's are still at that mark while One near the Grand Junction Rd and NE rd has shot up to 138 again.

Just seems some will jump up for long time while a couple will stay down.. Find it funny i can fill up with ultimate and constantly drive past other ones that are more expensive for the basic unleaded!

You must be using regular unleaded, because I haven't seen BP Ultimate under $1.30/L for over a year lol.

If you are really worried about paying an extra few cent per litre, then why are you even using BP fuel - you should be on United's "ethanol enhanced" fuel, which is usually around 5c cheaper then the cheapest unleaded for that day.

No im not saying its a bad thing or that im using standard petrol (i religously use ultimate) this is just an observation on BP petrol stations on their prices.. im not including th extra for ultimate but reffering to the signed prices for unleaded.

And when you add extra for ultimate from a station thats at 122 and then drive past another Bp that's normal petrol is priced at 138 always crack a smile
