Petrol is cheap as chips

SOUTHERN Downs motorists are the winners in a petrol price war being played out in their region.
Drivers in Warwick were filling up with some of the cheapest unleaded petrol on offer in Queensland during May, according to RACQ.
Warwick’s average price of unleaded at 131.7 cents per litre (cpl), was 5.7cpl less than Brisbane, and second only to Moranbah’s 128.7cpl average.
RACQ spokesperson Renee Smith said competition in the Rose City continued to keep prices low.
“With many of Warwick’s service stations located near each other on main roads, there is strong competition among retailers which drives down prices,” Ms Smith said.
“Those in nearby Toowoomba were also benefiting from some of the best priced fuel,with city’s monthly average of 133.2cpl the fourth cheapest in the state.”
