I think it's more a case of being hyper aware when prices are going up, especially through this crisis when they went up so much.

And then we sort of lose attention when prices come down because prices have come down on diesel by over a dollar and about 50 cents on petrol over the last month and a half.

But I think this is a slightly different case in that we are hyper-aware of the war and the crisis and what's happening locally and internationally.

So I think there'll be more focus this time when the price is coming down.

And so that's a good thing.
