Money-Saving Tips

• Track the Cycle: Major cities have distinct petrol price cycles. Aim to fill up when prices hit the bottom of the cycle in your capital city.
• Choose E10: If your vehicle is compatible, opting for E10 over standard unleaded can consistently save you cents per litre.
• Avoid Main Roads: Stations located on major highways often charge a premium. Detouring a few hundred metres into suburban centres can yield much better rates.
• Leverage Dockets: Don't forget to use supermarket shopper dockets to stack your discounts at participating stations.
