When something's in short supply, making it cheaper is an irrational response. Lower prices encourage higher demand. That's basic economics. If fuel is scarce, the priority should not be to stimulate more consumption of it. The priority should be to conserve it for uses that matter most.
Exactly what I said!
The problem in regional areas is that the current demand is causing petrol to fly off the shelves so fast they can't keep up and stations are running out
Why would you want to make a product that can't currently keep up with demand cheaper?
