Heating oil price up in Canberra in ACT report
Heating oil in Canberra rises to 2/10 a gallon while Sydney and Melbourne cost 2/44. The gap stems from subsidy rules, not applied to home heating oil in rural areas. Oil executives cite higher distribution costs and the impact of free or cut-rate storage tanks. A Shell official notes rising consumption but no clear economies of scale from larger deliveries.
