[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 359618, member: 3592"] Shell and the other petrol retailers cannot flex the price of petrol. Our petrol pricing is determined by the Automated Pricing Mechanism (APM) mandated by the govt. Only the govt has the choice to subsidise or tax petrol, and in the case of VPower, it's a neutral policy. Ie, Premium and Regular will remain at the set price - toggling between subsidy and tax - while VPower will move up and down depending on crude prices. Just like retailers of rice, sugar and other controlled items, the only legal way for retailers to offer 'discounts' is to offer prizes in lucky draws. But lucky draws are illegal without a gaming licence, so it must be a 'contest'. It's a 'contest' if there is a question answered (no matter how stupid the question) or a slogan written (no matter how stupid the slogan) So...it's worth putting entries in because it's just a lucky draw, and you do get paid if one of your entries is drawn. I'm the proof it's legit. :wink: [/QUOTE]
