Yes! Even worse, I was in a Coles yesterday and there are banners
everywhere advertising "9c per litre discount on fuel!"
Look closely though and you'll find that includes the usual 4c, +
extra 2c for spending $2 in the servo, but the extra 3c is made up of
choosing E10! WTF??? There has to be an advertising standards issue
there as if I tried to get 9c p/l off the price of V-Power (which is
'fuel' thank you!) it aint gonna happen!
**** I can't believe how much conversation/blog/post/news topics are
about money or costs lately. Oil really does suck! ;-(
