Stratford, Victoria, sits on the main highway between the larger towns of Sale (16km) and Bairnsdale (48km) and is a developing little town with lots of new houses and building work going on.
Yesterday I was foolish enough to purchase to 9kg gas bottle swap at the service station in Stratford and discovered it was priced at $42.
In Sale a similar swap is $31 - at a normal service station mind, not at Bunnings where it's cheaper still - the same is true of Bairnsdale so I am at a loss to understand why Stratford is so much more expensive given that the truck which services Sale and Bairnsdale with gas cylinders will have to pass through Stratford.
Perhaps the black Mercedes parked at the rear of the forecourt and I assume belongs to the owner needs a service?
First and last time I do a gas swap or buy fuel in Stratford.
