    I reckon it will settle around $1.10... Would be awesome if it dropped further though.

    Alot better than the 'predicted' $2 a litre by Christmas we were hearing earlier in the year!!!

    Its funny how we're all thinking petrol is cheap! Petrol has been $1.30+ a litre for a while which has made us forget about the days wehn it was below $1.00. I saw the petrol prices today and thought keep going, once it reaches the dollar mark I'm touring!

    When i got my license april last year petrol was 97c. I still remember when it went up to $1.20 and i was spewing but now i think 1.20 isnt too bad compared to a few weeks ago when it was $1.47 here.
    Australia. Love it or leave it

    It's hovering around $1.16 here. Usually cheapest early on a wednesday morning though so i'll see what tomorrow brings

    Can't complain when it's been up near $1.35 for a little while.

    Not nearly cheap enough.

    I'll start calling it cheap when it gets below 70cents like the good old days...

    prices will go up again. aparentley the reason it is cheap is because the US military has been stockpiling petrol for some time. now they have started using that stockpile the price will naturally go down. once they have gone through it all the price will go straight back up. so live it up for now
