Motorists have been flocking to petrol stations in mass numbers after fuel prices dropped to 99 cents a litre.

Shortly after the fuel went on sale, rival Caltex on Sudholz Rd dropped its price to 99.9c a litre.
UberEats driver Bramod Saneviratne was prepared to wait the entire day if he had to as the fuel was significantly cheaper than else where in the city.
‘I would wait longer ’cause it’s around $1.74 (a litre elsewhere),’ he told Adelaide Now.
Annie Elizabeth said she waited for more than an hour because fuel prices were so high.
X Convenience Adelaide marketing head, Simon Flocco said motorists were saving between $20 and $40.
He said they decided to do the ‘flash sale’ for 10 hours as traffic wasn’t very congested.
To grab the cheaper fuel, motorists had to follow the X Convenience Facebook page, share their post and their ‘Fuel Man’ character had to be on site.
