Excellent thought, why couldn't it have been legislated when we switched to unleaded that it was going to be 98ron...maybe because the oil companies argued that it would cause a big jump in price from old super and hence the various ron levels which in turn helps marketing and the different pricing level justifications.
I also think it's time we benchmark our local wholesale petrol prices to a world average rather than Singapore's Nomgas price which would hopefully reduce the spikes when such things as "tornados in the gulf, plant breakdows, mid-east unrest, increased chinese demand, ingrown toe-nail for the security guard on the terminal gate, etc"......
