Thursday, 26th May - Perth

Sue has checked Fuel Watch and so on the way to dropping Sue at the train station we fill up the car. Sue is going into town for a shareholders meeting. Then Pete drives Deborah to the airport (with Deborah providing impeccable directions). Deborah is flying back to Sydney for a night because she has to use up an airfare, and has two meetings to go to.

Pete wants to explain about Fuel Watch. It's a website. At 2 pm each day all Perth and some country area servos must lock in tomorrow's prices for fuel. Most servos in the area wanted $1.30 per litre for regular unleaded. On Fuel Watch website we found it for $1.21 a litre. It's a great system but NSW decided we didn't need a system like this. Why? Vested interests, Pete says.

Anyway, Pete finds his way back to Sue's via the freeway. They spend the afternoon at Karrinyup Shopping Centre and Ikea (Pete loves shopping). They have nibbles at Sue's before dinner and then go to the Indian Ocean hotel at Scarborough Beach for dinner.
