Cheap ass fuel sparks havoc

Above is a photo of Marie El-Khoury, an independent Sydney petrol operator who has continued to drop their price below $1 in protest of the big guys driving out the little ones. Her station, BP on Sunnyholt Road, Blacktown set its price below $1 for the second time this week with plenty of motorists wanting their share of this rare offer. After causing major traffic jams earlier in the week, the low price petrol was on offer again between 8am-9am on Friday morning - referred to as 'Happy Hour'.

The station says this is the only way they can compete with the bigger companies, and if all independents work together they can help to defeat the current duopoly in the Australian fuel market.

How good does it make you feel to see the small businesses do well in such hard times.

You don't see the two biggest players in the Australian petrol market do that every day.
