Some regional areas don’t have a price cycle – does this mean they don’t have discounted petrol?
While retail margins (pump price less wholesale price) are typically higher in the country compared with the city, service stations still offer their most competitive prices to gain customers, although competition may be less intense than in the city. Larger retail margins than in the city are often necessary for the viability of regional service stations which may have lower petrol volumes and non-fuel income such as shop sales.
