A new fuel finder feature will soon be available on the Service Victoria app to help motorists compare pump prices from fuel retailers across the state.
The Victorian government says fuel retailers statewide are complying with mandatory fuel price reporting regulations now in effect and set to save Victorian motorists money at the pump.
Minister for Consumer Affairs, Nick Staikos, said almost 1300 retailers are now onboard across the state and ready to report their fuel prices.
The retailers are now required to report their fuel prices through a new fuel finder feature which will be available soon on the Service Victoria app.
Minister Staikos said mandatory real-time fuel price reporting requires all fuel retailers to report their prices on the new fuel finder feature, giving Victorian drivers the information they need to find their area’s most affordable fuel price.
