Re: Cheaper boating
The United service station owner in Katherine dropped his prices right down after the fuel inquiry, he didn't want to be shafting his customers.
Way back years ago when United came to Katherine & started discounting fuel, it caused a stir which kept fuel prices lower than Darwin (Shell & BP in town did the same much to their angst).
Smart truckies fuel up here enroute to Darwin & refuel here before heading south for the few cents difference.

Re: Cheaper boating
I always left my boat and car as empty as possible when on route to the Roper and fueled in Katherine. Saved carrying weight for 350km and a few cents a litre to fill up. The savings added up when loading 500 litres into car and boat.garrynt wrote:The United service station owner in Katherine dropped his prices right down after the fuel inquiry, he didn't want to be shafting his customers.

Re: Cheaper boating
OPEC has not been able to agree to cut production and oil has now fallen below US$70.
Have pump prices fallen yet? Or are Australian boaters and motorists still getting the pineapple?

Re: Cheaper boating
We will always get the Pinapple but at least it isn't getting reamed as far in at the moment.
