Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chair Rod Sims has stressed people should shop around if they want to pay less at petrol stations. 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison put the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission on notice over rising fuel costs this week, saying he is ‘expecting action’.

Mr Sims said the ACCC would continue to closely scrutinise the petrol market and take legal action to address illegal behaviour, as well as advise Australians on how they can save cash on fuel.’
