Motorists are encouraged to fill their tanks up today before fuel prices soar. 

Around 40 per cent of service stations across the city are now selling petrol for $1.80 per litre.

“So this cheaper fuel is if you see a service station charging $1.50 or less.

“It’s going to disappear really quickly.”
