Report High Petrol Prices On Roadtube

Author: NRMA Motoring & ServicesDate: 09 April 2009

Motorists across NSW and the ACT are being encouraged to report high petrol prices over the Easter period on NRMA's new RoadTube website.
Average unleaded petrol prices across Sydney should not exceed $1.25 over the coming days when considering the international benchmark price and the Australian dollar.

Regional prices are typically four to five cents more expensive due to transport costs and less competition in regional towns.

If motorists drive past service stations selling petrol for $1.30 or more they are being encouraged to record the details with their mobile phone via video or camera or leave a blog with the details at www.roadtube.com.au.

Drivers of the vehicle are reminded to pull over before using their phone.

NRMA Motoring & Services President Wendy Machin said if motorists encountered over-inflated petrol prices this Easter long weekend they could now do more than suffer in silence.

"Petrol prices have remained stable this week and we don‟t expect them to reach the $1.30 mark over the long weekend," Ms Machin said.

"However, if motorists see prices above the $1.30 barrier we want them to report it on our RoadTube website via video, photos or by leaving the details as a blog comment.

"The NRMA will collate the reports from the motoring public and present them to the Petrol Commissioner."

Motorists also have the opportunity to dob-in petrol companies making excessive profits over the Easter period, when NRMA's RoadTube portable 'toll booths' will be on display in Martin Place next Thursday 16 April.
