With fuel prices the way they are, it is nice to know that Wangaratta has the cheapest fuel for many miles around.
Currently Wangaratta has unleaded fuel available at 125.9, and even cheaper with shopping docket and other discount schemes. This is much cheaper than surrounding districts and towns. Furthermore, Autogas is currently available at 56.9
Since Wangaratta is also a great place to shop, why not save both ways and do your shopping in Wangaratta, while filling up with cheaper fuel?

At the release of a report into technological change and the accounting profession a few weeks ago, Melbourne University's Professor Colin Ferguson said "I could see as many as 25% of companies listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) disappearing in the next decade because of the proposed National Broadband Network (NBN) roll out and other rapid technological change."
Professor Ferguson could be optimistic. The internet today is where the automobile, telephone and mains electricity were 80 years ago — all were established technologies that had been around for awhile, but the society-wide benefits only began to be felt in the 1930s.
