Source: Australia. Prime Minister. Media Release
"Federal Cabinet today (15/4/08) approved the establishment of a National FuelWatch Scheme to promote competition and transparency in the petrol market.
The establishment of Australia’s first National FuelWatch Scheme will help ensure motorists are not paying a cent more than they have to at the bowser.
The National FuelWatch Scheme will help motorists buy the cheapest petrol, at the cheapest petrol stations, at the cheapest times.
Under the National FuelWatch Scheme, petrol stations in metropolitan and major regional centres will be required to:
Notify the ACCC of their next day’s prices by 2pm the day before;
Maintain this advised price for a 24 hour period; and
Apply the scheme to unleaded petrol, premium unleaded petrol, LPG, diesel, 98 RON and biodiesel blends. "
