Mineral Turpentine - Why does it cost so much more at some stores?

So I'd normally get it at SuperCheap Auto but...
SCA brand $5.99

Try the big 2 supermarkets...
Woolworths - Diggers $5.99
https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/prod ... turpentine
Coles brand $5.85

By far the cheapest for the 1lt bottle is Bunnings!
Diggers $3.23

The next closest was The Reject Shop
KCB brand $4

I know the brands are different but its all the same stuff, why such a big price difference?

Maybe its just me but we shop around to save a few cents on fuel so why not on this stuff?

Because we buy so much less of it!!! Cost of petrol to go to the cheaper venue would out way the saving.

Still worth getting this at a lower price and not pay the stupid $6 a Lt the supermarkets and SCA want.
I was just amazed by the price gap, its like one servo charging $1.20 and the next over $2 a Lt for ULP!
Also IGA wanted $6 for a Lt from memory.

Like most I use it mainly for painting and cleaning but when I can I'll use petrol for the brushes and save the turps for other jobs.
