Canberra motorists will continue to have access to real-time fuel pricing at petrol stations across the ACT, following a successful trial of the FuelCheck scheme in the ACT.
The ACT Government acknowledges that cost of living pressures are impacting Canberrans and that for many households the cost of fuel is a significant expense.
By continuing to work with NSW Government to provide the popular FuelCheck scheme in the ACT, Canberra motorists will be able to continue to find cost savings on fuel.
By shopping around and checking FuelCheck, Canberra motorists can enjoy savings of, on average, 11 cents per litre on standard unleaded, 15 cents per litre on premium unleaded; and 25 cents per litre on diesel and pay less than the national average for their fuel. This means, a motorist who drives an average of 12,100 kilometres per year could save around $140-$200 for a petrol car and $350 for a diesel car, annually.
Since FuelCheck’s introduction in the ACT in November 2022, the app was downloaded around 100,000 times by Canberrans. Over 95 per cent of ACT service stations have signed up to FuelCheck and there has been a high level of retailer and consumer satisfaction with the tool.
Along with giving motorists the capacity to save, FuelCheck also allows users to see information on when the best day of the week to buy, and to receive alerts on when prices drop at favourite stations.
