    NSW bans misleading petrol prices

    Hopefully other states follow suit.

    i really don't want to be the person who says this, however :D

    everytime I have been to a servo if you read under what the price is (or above) it says "discount ULP", "ULP" or "Premium" or whatever else they have up on the sign.
    unless in NSW its completely different am I missing the concept of basic reading and comprehension?

    to be honest i'm with Ari.
    either I need fuel or I don't. And when your doing 1000kms a week you really take minimal notice of prices.

    There's is a very reasonable rail service for most areas of Sydney Metro. More people should take advantage of it.

    I give my shopper dockets to my work mates.
    7/11 down the road is selling fuel at the -4 cents price so I don`t need dockets.
    Sometimes it is lower than that.

    This ^. That has to be the greatest scam ever. How anyone ever thought that they weren't paying for cheaper fuel through higher grocery prices I don't know.

    The thing is, if you shop at either of the big two supermarkets you are screwed the extra couple of dollars if you don't use the fuel discount. ACCC, ban them!

    Exactly. They have it and I need it and there's no choice but to pay what they're asking.
