As Sydney petrol prices hit record highs, here's where to get the cheapest fuel
Sydney petrol prices today reached an all-time high with unleaded costing an average of more than $1.70 a litre.
But 9News can exclusively reveal the cheapest petrol stations on all our main roads.
According to the Fuel Check app, Enhance Homebush on the M4 has sold unleaded for an average price of $1.33 in 2021.

Metro Milperra takes the crown on the M5 with just under $1.31.
If you regularly travel on the M7, Metro Toongabbie is your best bet, while Calvi North Ryde has this year's cheapest petrol on the M2.
On the Pacific Highway, check out Metro Lane Cove and if Anzac Parade is your regular route, Budget Petrol in Matraville is the most budget-friendly.
The NSW Government has conducted 921 inspections over the past year and issued warning notices to service stations displaying incorrect prices that don't match up to the Fuel Check app.
"There have been 15 warning notices issued and they can lead to fines up to $550," NSW Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation Kevin Anderson said.
Independents like Metro, Budget Petrol, Speedway and Enhance consistently offer cheaper petrol, while big oil offer the most expensive.
"On a 60-litre tank of petrol, the difference could be up to $25 depending on where you buy your petrol," NSW Minister for Customer Service Victor Dominello told 9News.

Another example of this wide price gap is the 14 cent a litre difference between the cheapest and most expensive for E10 near Anzac Parade, while there is a 20-cent difference between the cheapest and most expensive for regular unleaded near the M5.
So, if a motorist filled up a standard 45-litre vehicle at Metro Milperra near the M5, they'd save $9.
If the gap remained the same throughout the year and they filled up once a week, they'd save $468.
The NRMA says fuel prices could rise even higher over the coming days before slowly falling.
