Petrol prices jumped about 40c/l yesterday. I snuck out last night at 10:30 and scored some at one of the last cheapies in my area.

Expect we won’t see cheaper prices again until late Jan. I’m totally surprised that the prices will be at their highest over Christmas and New Year! What an unlucky coincidence that prices are increasing just when school holidays start too!

• ACC price cycles Sydney ehows you where we are in the cycles and how long they last

Fill up if you can still find a cheapie.
