Or does your local servo have the highest petrol price in country New South Wales?

You can now find out, thanks to a new addition to the NRMA website.

The site gives average prices for fuel around New South Wales on a daily basis for Sydney and major rural centres.

For example, on Thursday, February 9, the highest price in Sydney was 130.9 cents per litre. The lowest was 109.9, while the average was 115.4. In Lismore, the average price was 119.8.

Only the Central Coast (116.0), Grafton (117.3) and Newcastle (119.1) had lower prices than Lismore. The State’s top price was being paid at Bega (131.1).

The NRMA hopes its Country Petrol Watch scheme will let people know what prices are being paid around the State, encouraging them to shop around for the best deal, thus forcing a more competitive market.

 The top picks out of what I looked at were definitely the Budweiser commercials.

 What do you think?
