NSW drivers are being urged to use the FuelCheck app to find a cheaper servo and save up to $10 a tank as the fuel excise discount ends on Wednesday.
Treasurer Matt Kean said the app can save drivers up to $800 a year and is just one of the measures contributing to the almost $7 billion delivered in cost of living savings to NSW residents since July 2017.
โPrices can vary greatly between petrol stations so if youโre filling up a 50L tank and thereโs a 20 cent difference between service stations, youโd save $10 by filling up at the cheaper one,โ Mr Kean said.
โDriving a couple of hundred metres down the road to a cheaper servo can really pay off and boost your budget.
โNew data from the past six months shows independents consistently offer drivers the cheapest fuel.โ

โFuelCheck has been an overwhelming success, with more than 2.2 million drivers downloading the free app, and 93 per cent giving it the thumbs up,โ Mr Dominello said.
โWith high petrol prices right now, drivers can find the cheapest fuel anywhere in NSW in real-time in the palm of their hand.
