THE petrol price roller coaster appears to have levelled out - for the time being anyway.
Prices of $1.47 that had to be paid not all that long ago are no longer the bane of motorists.
The week before last, the price of unleaded petrol levelled out in the Great Lakes at around $1.32 a litre.
Earlier that week in Sydney, prices plummeted to $1.15 at some service stations but within a day or two the prospect of such low prices in the Great Lakes had gone, when many city servos readjusted their prices upwards by at least 15 cents a litre.
The week before last the price discrepancy ranged from $1.17 at Liverpool to $1.44 at Jindabyne.
Minister for Small Business David Campbell advised motorists to keep an eye on prices in the lead up to the traditional October long weekend price hike.
The holiday weekend starts at the end of this week.
