If you need to top up your tank, you'd better do it before the long weekend as petrol prices are expected to rise.
According to the NRMA it's good news for Hunter motorists right now with Newcastle the 10th cheapest in the state to fill up, but not as cheap as Maitland which is the 8th cheapest.
NRMA Regional Corporate Affairs Adviser Helen Machalias believes we are quite lucky in the Hunter as far as price goes, but what happens after the long weekend is anybody's guess.
"So we expect that it will peak over the long weekend and then we'll just have to see what the prices are like after that."
The NRMA also stress that shopping around is the key to getting the best bang for your petrol buck.
"We encourage Hunter motorists to use the NRMA app to shop around because it allows you to compare petrol prices either along the route that your taking when your travelling or just in your local area," said Helen Machalias.
As of this morning you could get Unleaded for 118.2 at the Rutherford Puma, or 117.9 at the Metro in Islington.
