MOTORISTS across NSW could save hundreds of dollars at the bowser thanks to a new app.
The NSW Government has launched the FuelCheck app which provides on-the-go live fuel prices in real-time for all NSW service stations.
The app includes all the functions currently on the FuelCheck website, including finding the best deal by price, location, fuel type and brand, with additional features such as a Favourite Stations function.
This allows users to save their favourite petrol stations and receive notification when the petrol reaches their chosen price.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian described the new app as a "game changer for motorists".
"By giving motorists a bird's-eye view of the market they can find the cheapest fuel anywhere in the state, providing them with much-needed relief at the hip pocket," Ms Berejiklian said.
The app also includes a My Trip function which uses Google maps to enable users to find the cheapest petrol station on their journey, and direct them to the station.
There is also a Trends page which shows the cheapest day of the week to fill up and the day's price range.
Ms Berejiklian was joined by Minister for Finance, Services and Property Victor Dominello, and Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation Matt Kean at Metro Marrickville to launch the app.
Mr Kean said since its launch in August 2016, the FuelCheck website has had over 2.6 million visits.
If the price at the pump does not match what is shown on the app, motorists can make a complaint directly to NSW Fair Trading.
The app is available to download from iTunes or Google Play.
