Talk about highway robbery – Driving along the Pacific Motorway today, noticed the fuel prices being advertised at the BP Service centre just off the highway at Stapylton

With unleaded fuel being sold for 1.329 / litre in Beenleigh, it was disgusting to see the BP price of $1.49 taking advantage of interstate or out-of-town motorists who would not be aware of substantially cheaper fuel at servos not far from the motorway

When talking to one of our bookkeeping clients, we were astonished to learn that they didn’t even think about what day to fill up, or what price they should be paying – they would fill up simply when their tank was running dry!

Our motor mechanic has always promoted that we keep the tank at a minimum of half full to ensure better performance from the vehicle

As a bookkeeper, we consider the cost difference between $1.33 and $1.49 – thats over 11% – filling your tank at a cost of say $100 per week makes a difference of around $500 per year
