This iS a campaign organized by the program Today Tonight, selected United Service stations every weekend will drop fuel by 10c a litre with no catches or docket's or any other conditions just a real saving of 10c a litre.
If its supported well they will continue to do it, this has come about because the big 4 are squeezing the independents out of the market, and without independents we wont see any cheap pricing, this may help with others dropping there prices, but they want us to keep supporting United there Australia largest independent Service stations.
every state had the prices set differently, QLD always has cheaper petrol as there state taxes are lower, the United price for the selected QLD service stations was $1.19 a litre.

they buy it from the same refinary in geelong as the big boys do. plus if you're really worried you also have a fuel filter in your car that will clean out the crap

Sydney's United petrol comes from the Shell refinary... So Unleaded Plus (95 oct) is actually Optimax and Boost98 is Optimax98.

I know I stated a while back that I felt United was a bit dodge, but after running a tank of all United fuels and Shell fuels I do not see a difference in performance/fuel economy between the brands.
