“If the people of Dubbo go to the servo that’s selling it at 127.7 cents than all the other servos are going to have no choice but to drop the price,” Mr Khoury said.

“A 7.5 cent saving is good on any day of the week, but it’s even better when you’re filling up a full tank and that money you save at the bowser can be spent on a holiday.

“The power is in your hands.”

Without doing research first you could end up paying 155 cents instead of 117.9, Mr Khoury said.
