Hunter motorists can expect more pain in the hip pocket when the Federal Government's fuel excise cut ends next month.
The NRMA is predicting the cost of petrol will rise by 25 cents per litre.
The previous Morrison government cut the excise by 50 per cent to 22 cents a litre to ease the cost of living.
But the measure was only put in place for 6 months and will come to an end on September 28.
The Albanese government has resisted calls to extend the cut, which is estimated to cost $3 billion over 6 months.
