Are you being ripped off? The one petrol station you should stay away from
<p>Petrol prices have often been a sore spot for Aussies who feel the pinch of higher prices on their wallets.</p>
<p>However, <em><a rel="noopener" href="https://twitter.com/9NewsSyd/status/1098490712650178560" target="_blank">Nine News</a></em> has reported that drivers are being ripped off with petrol station prices, with some servos charging nearly 40 cents more than others in the same suburb.</p>
<p>There is one chain of petrol stations where drivers often feel the pinch, as Coles Express stations consistently sell more expensive fuel.</p>
<p>Where you’ll feel the pinch at the bowser:</p>
<ul>
<li>Auburn, NSW: 36.2 cents more a litre between independent and BP stores</li>
<li>Farfield, NSW: 34.2 cents more a litre between independent, Caltex and 7/11 stores</li>
<li>Campbelltown NSW: 32.2 cents more a litre between Caltex and independent fuel stores</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’re lucky enough to live in Manly in NSW, you’re least affected by the price increase as there’s only an 8 cents difference between 7/11 and Metro fuel stores.</p>

<p>Peter Khoury from the NRMA warned motorists to avoid Coles Express petrol stations, which is known for being the most expensive in comparison to other major fuel outlets.</p>
<p>Independent petrol stations have also warned motorists that if they are left unsupported, it will impact your pockets as they’re forced to pay a higher price for fuel.</p>
