    Great, so traffic will be banked up 500m down the road, car idle for 2hr to get petrol. I value my time. Still a good deal.

    Paid less than a $1/l with an EDR offer and mid $1.20/l prices recently, good gesture by an independent though.

    Daily wholesale price of petrol. Selling it at $1/litre is of course an unsustainable stunt to gain media attention. The owner doesn't have a chance to cover it in the sale of milk and pies.

    Wow, that's expensive. In the US they pay around 85c per L.

      and in Egypt they pay about 15c/litre….
      its the shipping thats the killer…

        It's not the shipping. Egypt, like many other poorer nations, subsidises the cost of fuel for its citizens.

        http://english.alarabiya.net/en/business/economy/2013/04/08/…

        Egypt is spending US$17.5 billion this year to make fuel artificially cheap, and it's crippling the government's budget. They are very keen to eliminate this drain on the economy.

          I guess I needed to spell out my sarcasm better towards the original comparison to the US price (and that shipping it from there to here would ruin the $ saving..)

          though you could replace egypt with any other middle east country

        • You should replace Egypt. It's no longer a net oil exporter :-)

      In the US they pay around 85c per L

      It's quite a drive though to save 15c….

      • So is Adelaide!! About 7 hours!

    In the first photo the service station is off camera on the right. It's a pretty busy intersection during peak hour anyway, but with cars lining up it must be manic.

    • Actually, the servo that this post refers to is actually on the left further up.

      Read mogas rather than on the run (Mobil).
