Fuel price discussion

Petrol prices are coming down nationwide. But what drives me nuts that when there is a price hike these damn petrol stations increase prices literally like every day by a few cents but when prices come down they are slower than a slug to down their prices and its just selfish that they still want to make profit at the very minute.
There are 3 stations in my area Z, Pak n Save and BP. Pak n Save has dropped their price but Z and BP are still competing with each other and are barely reducing the price by 2 cents every 2nd 3rd day. Im mad because my car is tuned with BP fuel so anyways I have to go there.

Does this also drive u nuts?

End of Rant!!

    I agree - you should set up your own petrol station, and sell at a price where you make no profit. Don't be selfish and make excuses - let us know when you are up and running!

    Unfortunately that's how a free market works, they have their rights to set the prices they like. We as consumers also have our rights to not buy from them, it's just that consumers are not united enough to force them to start selling at more reasonable prices. People just pay and pay.
