ACCC chairman Rod Sims said savings on petrol add up over the course of a year, and motorists who always chose cheaper independent retailers would 'come out ahead'.

Coles Express is Australia's most expensive petrol retailer across five capital cities, according to an ACCC analysis of 2018 prices that found it is worth shopping around and seeking out independents for a better deal.

In the same five cities, independent retailers were the cheapest: Speedway in Sydney, United in Melbourne and Brisbane, Liberty in Adelaide and Vibe in Perth.Of the remaining retailers, Woolworths and 7-Eleven were found to be generally below the market average price in most cities, while BP and Caltex company-owned, company-operated retailers were generally above the market average price.

By ditching the highest cost retailer for a cheaper independent, savings of about $148 could be made in Melbourne, about $229 in Brisbane, about $211 in Perth and about $159 in Adelaide. "You’ve just got more of these independent chains, and that makes a huge difference. Melbourne doesn’t have those, Sydney does … They discipline the market," he said.
