Nearly 100 NSW service stations face fines over misleading petrol prices amid fuel shortage crackdown

Most of the stations hit with penalty infringement notices were in regional NSW, while 23 were in Sydney

Ninety-three service stations in New South Wales are facing fines for misrepresenting their prices amid Australia’s fuel crisis – although none are facing penalties for price gouging.

A two-week compliance blitz has seen inspectors visit about 75% – or just under 1,800 – of stations registered with fuel price app FuelCheck in NSW, issuing 93 penalty infringement notices, the state government said on Sunday.
