Petrol Canary, from Craig Mee

 Pulled into a local gas station or "servo" as we call it here in Australia…and a particularly chatty attendant told me (twice in as many visits) to fill up because the price was going up the next day… It never has. But he did shed one light, he said not many people are getting out for easter and filling up the cars, only 20 bucks here, 20 bucks there. If you could attach a measure on the pump, and see how many full "extractions" there are compared to how many small "tops up" there are…we might have a leading indicator of sorts, local specific.
