Bowser Buster STOP THE RIP OFF!

Petrol As Tanya and I took a trip to see The Wallabies win in Sydney, both of us noticed the pricing of fuel across Sydney. 127.9 in Sydney, 125.9 in Western Sydney and as we came home 128.9 in Appin and then 131.9 at Albion Park.

Getting home, it’s a wonderful feeling right? Well, until you realise you’ve got to fill up once home. However not at 147.9 per litre.

Prices are getting ridiculous and WE are being RIPPED OFF!

The NRMA says at up to 30 cents a litre more than Sydney ,  South Coast and Southern Highlands motorists are paying far too much for fuel.

The motoring organisation says while there has been a slight fall at some outlets in the last week, and a small additional component for transport is acceptable,  such a huge price differentiation can not be justified.

According to the latest NRMA " bowser buster "  survey Moss Vale ranks 7th on the list of towns and cities in New South Wales for the cheapest petrol,  while Nowra comes in at 46th.

Bega and Parkes'  petrol is 5 cents a litre cheaper than Nowra, which is much closer to the main fuel distribution points in Sydney than its far southern and western counterparts.

NRMA President Wendy Machin says there needs to be a lot more diversification in the industry.

To check the prices, the NRMA have a website known as Bowser Buster, check your prices at the link below;

If this pricing continues, this is what our petrol stations could look like;
