      All this “tomorrow price” does is cause more panic to fill up the day b4, they can say that it will be $3 tomorrow, but they don’t have to price it at $3 they just can’t price it over $3, it’s flawed & causing more panic imo

      I would say this is the dumbest implementation of rules / laws.

      Because service stations are not able to price higher than their set “tomorrow price” (but can charge less), they have all been setting very high unrealistic prices to ensure they don’t get caught out.

      Most expensive diesel today was $3.19 , the cheapest was $2.99 , average price across Melbourne $3.15 – everything that gets delivered by truck will be going up in price

      Or actually rebranded as a Shell a few months ago, if that makes any difference. Also, I’ve just driven past and the U91 is cheaper than this at 249.9

      Loudest complainers are the ones with jacked up utes, every aerodynamic and weight saving defeat device you can imaging, think bullbar, roof rack, awning, rooftop tent and a full kitchen rig in the back.

      Oh your hilux is using 22l per 100, reckon it might be the brick on the roof and the 500kg of absolutely necessary urban warrior equipment attached to the fucking thing? Hey did you remember your maxtrax? You know for when you forward alexandra parade in a mild rain shower?

      Would love to hear from all those yank tank owners right about now

      Glad I drive a piece of shit but economical hatchback

      Is it just this petrol station. I noticed a few in my area doing this, but most appear to be just setting whatever their prices are

      I saw the same thing yesterday at a few stations across Melbourne for today’s prices, but it doesnt look like any of them actually went to that price.

      Do they always overestimate their cap for the following day? Have never used this app.

      This is because of new law. Everyone has to show max rate of next day. Hence this.

      Great job gov, we’ll just ask our employers nicely to wfh while fuel keeps going up and up and up

      Remember folks, its not hoarding.  It’s a supply side issue, they’re not building enough petrol.

      Working from home looking increasing like the only option. Unless salaries pick up to cover the shortfall this does not seem economically viable.

      I run a service station, it’s basically an app limitation. We get the next day’s price the night before, and there’s a 2pm cutoff to update it. So I just set everything to something like 400 as a placeholder so people know it’s not the real price. Then at 6am the actual price gets updated.

      Maybe if people had just stuck to filling up their cars and not jerry cans then prices wouldn’t be so drastically increased

      Wondered why it was taking so long to put $20 in at 94c/L ~ 20 years ago. Got to about $4 and the handle clicked.

      Attendant had accidentally entered the price with the decimal point in the wrong spot.

      9.4c/L, Bargain!
