Motorists hit with higher fuel prices

Peninsula motorists were being hit with higher fuel prices in the week before Christmas but the Peninsula was far from the worst in the state.

The cheapest E10 available on the Peninsula at lunch time on Tuesday, December 20 was 128.9 cents per litre at United Petroleum Empire Bay.

The most expensive was six cents more at 134.9 cents per litre from Coles Express Umina and Woy Woy and BP at Woy Woy.

A trip to West Gosford could save motorists three cents a litre: 7-Eleven, Metro and Caltex West Gosford were all offering 125.9 cents per litre.

Prices in Kariong were comparable with the cheapest available on the Peninsula.

The NSW Government's Fuel Check was reporting an average fuel price across the state of 125.3 cents per litre for E10.

Peninsula prices are once again higher than those available at nearby West Gosford but spare a thought for motorists paying up to 135.4 cents per litre at Buladelah or 135.2 cents at Gundagai.

Diesel prices were uniform across the Peninsula at 129.9 cents per litre; at trip to West Gosford Metro would have saved you two cents per litre.
