Hellooo {{first_name}},
Fuel prices are high and honestly it's hard to know when that's going to change. The government did just cut the fuel excise in half, but the 26.3c/litre saving only lasts until June 30 so it's not a permanent fix. The good news is there are some really easy ways to make sure you're always getting the best price.
Find the cheapest fuel:
Australia wide:
State based:
Make sure to also stack your discounts! If you shop at Woolies or Coles, don't forget to use your fuel vouchers at their partner servos and if you're an NRMA or RAC member you'll get a discount at Ampol and Caltex too.
Now, let's get into this week's deals 💃🏻
