The average price of unleaded petrol is set to increase by around 14 cents per litre (cpl) to 165.5cpl tomorrow, so drivers are encouraged to fill up today to save money.

Get ready for long lines at the following fuel stations because they are selling unleaded petrol the cheapest.

More than 77,000 people have signed up on Facebook (click here for more) to take part in a fuel strike later this month.

The event encourages Australians to “rise up against the petroleum industry” and make a stand on October 26.

More than 16,000 people have signed the online petition stating the same.

In the meantime, we should just be happy we don’t live in New Zealand (not just because of their fuel prices).
