Makes it hard to believe when we keep getting told that inflation is just 3% and $100 buys in 2018 the same as $126 today. The rba even has the audacity to have an image trying to blame wages going up for inflation.

I can’t believe 2018 was 8 years ago. I feel like it’s only been like 3-4 years since 2018.

The gap between 91 and 95 is barely anything

Some of us are old enough to remember the flurry of activity as servos rushed to add the third digit to their price displays.

So if I bought a houses worth of fuel 8 years ago it would be worth a house today?
Should have invested in petrol.

I remember the standard was $0.60
As soon as it hit $1.00 i was shocked, alot of people were shocked

Then again … petrol in Melbourne in 2008 was $1.60, so compared to that price 18 years ago it hasn’t really gone up much
Prices only go up with each world event but never come back down post the event

On one particular day in 2018.
I specifically remember one day that year filling up with 91 for $1.69. $1.59 was also not uncommon in the 4 years prior as i remember it being a regular price I filled up for in my first few years of driving.
