[LINK] Fuel Check website helps drivers find cheap petrol

[Paul Bolger]

I think the WA version has been around longer. The crucial difference is that in WA the service station is only allowed to change the price once a day, so they can't indicate really cheap petrol, wait 30 min, and put the price up as the suckers arrive.
If I remember rightly the Rudd government tried to introduce a federal fuelwatch scheme too, based on the WA one (which people love). It foundered after an intense campaign from the petrol companies who said it would "reduce competition" and "wouldn't be in the interests of motorists."
