Happened to be towing a couple of months back with fuel prices at their peak and filling at Erldunda diesel was $3.14/L and I worked out that was costing me 49c/km. So I'm not surprised with this news and coming to a servo near you soon you'd reckon- https://www.msn.com/en-au/money/other/holding-charge-of-100-at-petrol-stations-set-to-be-rolled-out-across-uk/ar-AA11Gr9g

There's no Great Evil conspiracy against consumers within engineering, manufacturing and supply. Just the many tradeoffs incurred to satisfy diverse tastes, priorities and wallets. But first comes all the insatiable Gummint eggsperts, nanny-staters and usual suspects.

Costco petrol have been that way since they opened. You punch in a credit amount at the bowser then fill up. Anything unused is immediately refunded.

The newspapers tried to cause a bit of panic when it was first announced here, but in practice it hasn’t caused any issues that I am aware of.
