These photos document the Sydney petrol price scene of high prices, traffic jams, and the apparent new boom in luxury car sales despite rising petrol prices.

Caption: This petrol station doesn’t seem to be doing very much business but at least it looks cool- I like the old signage. If escalating petrol prices are causing small older petrol stations to loose out on customers due to the larger petrol stations offering discount prices, maybe old petrol stations could be used for other purposes.
