Perhaps things are different in WA but then WGAS, it's WA.
In Sydney, at least, BP means squat. Notice the 200 car queue outside the couple of stations that offer 4c off (not BP, even though you can get a BP Mastercard that gives you 5% off which is double the 4c shopper dockets...) the sheep flock towards Coles and Woolworths inspired petrol stations. It's sad to the point that it's sickening, but the sheep have spoken.
I never realised saving ~$2.50 by sitting in an hour queue is obviously that spiritually fulfilling.
