Cheapest fuel in Australia on offer today - but you’ll have to get in quick

A petrol station is offering a wild deal - fuel for just 99 cents per litre. But you’ll have to get in quick.

A petrol station is offering fuel for 99 cents per litre for just two hours, with drivers told to brace for queues as hundreds are expected to take advantage of the bargain price.

Metro Petroleum on Bellevue Road in Figtree, in Wollongong’s inner west, is the latest location to slash prices for just two hours.

Motorists will be able to get the discounted fuel between 3pm and 5pm on Tuesday, May 14.

It is part of a promotion between rewards club Dreams Come True (DCT) and Metro Petroleum.

The deal kicked off last week at Metro Petroleum in Punchbowl in Sydney’s southwest, causing queues of cars to stack up.

One ute driver in the queue said he had 10 jerry cans he was going to fill up, while another brought one 600L tank.

Another man was seen getting fuel for his lawnmower.

Before the sale period, unleaded petrol was advertised at the service station for 192.7c.

DCT had initially said they would run the promotion at different locations on the first Tuesday of each month, in line with the Reserve Bank of Australia’s cash rate decision, but were so pleased with the success they are doing another one this week.

DCT is a paid membership program to get discounts with its partners, but the fuel promotion is available to everyone.

The average price on Tuesday in NSW for E10 of U91 was 193.1c, according to the NSW government’s Fuel Check app.

The federal government will also hand down its new budget on Tuesday and news.com.au has revealed Australians battling to keep a roof over their heads are set to miss out on immediate relief.

Advocacy groups say too little is being done to provide urgent support to those being hit hard by the ongoing housing crisis, and without swift action, many will be pushed to the brink.
