Petrol Prices here in Australia at present

[another view]

if it is a world controlled market price, (me thinks it is not the case).

Same here. Prices go up a lot, then come back a little. The rise usually has to do with the price of crude, but the fall in price doesn't seem to have much to do with it. Being a commodity that the refineries are sitting on, maybe they have to sell off the expensive stuff they're sitting on before they can lower the price - or maybe I'm being optimistic. Regardless of what crude does, I don't think I'll ever see $1.60/US gal Diesel again.

I have been looking for this photo since I edited it this past Saturday. Left it at work on a machine and didn't load back into my notebook. This price per gallon lasted only a few hours.
