Tas fuel price check app

MOTORISTS CAN compare fuel prices in their local area through FuelCheck Tas, a free app and website.

Minister for Building and Construction, Elise Archer, said fuel retailers are now required to update fuel prices in real time, providing a vastly enhanced level of transparency for consumers.

‘More than 230 fuel retailers have now registered for the scheme and have already begun reporting fuel prices.

‘We are confident the scheme will put downward pressure on fuel prices, create more competition among fuel retailers and improve price transparency for Tasmanian motorists.

‘Tasmanian fuel retailers are urged to ensure that any global price reductions are passed on to motorists as a matter of priority’, Ms Archer said. To use the app go to www. fuelcheck.tas.gov.au.
