    Yeah, but your full tank will take you around your paradise a couple of times.

    Doesn't matter what you class bottled water as......it's a product who's price doesn't at all reflect the costs of finding the stuff and getting it into a bottle and to the market.

    These are from straight-line flight data

    Of course there is always:

    Darwin - Hobart 3739km but its really a south-coast city on an island so it hardly counts

    The exact same thing happened here in Wodonga.

    All of the big chain petrol stations had unleaded at around $1.49 per litre.

    A new Apco opened up selling at $1.29 per litre. That afternoon the big chains dropped their prices to match.

    Every station in town had the prices up, so it wasn't just a matter of finding the cheapest place. Now they are all down matching the Apco.

    Not surprising the Apco was doing a roaring trade!!!
