Happy Hour for Sydney motorists

In a move service station owners say is aimed at tackling predatory pricing from supermarket chain petrol stations and the big oil companies, a group of independent owners will today offer cheap petrol to draw attention to their plight.


Ten independent servos have joined the cause offering Sydney motorists unleaded fuel at less than $1 per litre.

It is hoped that by doing so that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will be forced in to addressing anti-competitive pricing practices the group says are flaunted by the large retail giants.

The owners who stand to lose up to $10,000 each in the exercise are being supported by other local proprieters including mechanics, butchers, pizzerias, egg farmers, water suppliers and cafe owners who will all give away free goods and services at the selected service stations to help out the rebellious independents.
