    1.33 here not matter whether shell mobil caltex or independant.
    That's normal price :(

    It's 10c cheaper at Taree and Coffs which defies the 'transport cost'.. :(

    So it's not the transport cost that they're adjusting. See. No magic.

    Yes, I've already made that point ;) but what IS the reason for the 10c
    price hike in Port ? :)

    Stop worrying about the little things and think about the more important
    things. A 1.25lt bottle of coke/pepsi soft drink at my local
    supermarket costs about $1.20 but next door at the BP petrol station the
    same bottle of soft drink costs about $3. That's almost 200% markup and
    you're complaining about a price difference < 10%. Petty in comparison.

    Perhaps but the same sized bottle of coke will have the same markup
    ratio *and* price. Therein lies the basis of my argument. Aside from the
    fact that I use more petrol than coke.. :) You also neglected to mention
    that at said petrol station, said coke would have the advantage of
    refrigeration, thereby giving it the option of immediate consumption,
    whereas the supermarket option also has the DIY overhead of a fridge (or
    a mate with one) and some time. C'mon, apples and oranges. :)

    Besides, if you buy boxes of cans you can get 30-odd for about $18 when
    they're on special. Bottles of the stuff go flat before they're empty.
    As you can see, I've already sorted all the important stuff, and now I'm
    onto mere trivialities.
