Full circle

THE wheel really has turned full circle. In recent years Lithgow has been constantly criticised for having the most expensive petrol between here and Sydney. When the oil price plunged recently and fuel prices dropped accordingly in most locations we still didn’t match the Blue Mountains but we did get some pleasing relief. Now the cost of filling up has again gone up everywhere. But at the weekend the column discovered we had the cheapest fuel anywhere between Sydney and Lithgow. While the prices have again soared elsewhere to the levels of the bad old days, averaging around $1.34, you could still fill up in Lithgow at less than $1.20, with the cheapest that we noticed at $1.17.9. It was a pleasant change but was never going to last.
