NSW drivers are being urged to use the FuelCheck app to find a cheaper servo and save up to $10 a tank as the fuel excise discount ends on Wednesday.
\u00a0
Treasurer Matt Kean said the app can save drivers up to $800 a year and is just one of the measures contributing to the almost $7 billion delivered in cost of living savings to NSW residents since July 2017.
\u00a0
\u201cPrices can vary greatly between petrol stations so if you\u2019re filling up a 50L tank and there\u2019s a 20 cent difference between service stations, you\u2019d save $10 by filling up at the cheaper one,\u201d Mr Kean said.
\u00a0
\u201cDriving a couple of hundred metres down the road to a cheaper servo can really pay off and boost your budget.
\u00a0
\u201cNew data from the past six months shows independents consistently offer drivers the cheapest fuel.\u201d
\u00a0
Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Victor Dominello said Sydney\u2019s cheapest petrol is often found in the western and southwestern suburbs.
\u00a0
\u201cFuelCheck has been an overwhelming success, with more than 2.2 million drivers downloading the free app, and 93 per cent giving it the thumbs up,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
\u00a0
\u201cWith high petrol prices right now, drivers can find the cheapest fuel anywhere in NSW in real-time in the palm of their hand.
\u00a0
\u201cDo yourself a favour these school holidays and get the app. You could save up to $800 a year by using it regularly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
