FuelWatch is a fuel monitoring service created by the Government of Western Australia. It was established by the Government of Western Australia in January 2001. On 2 January 2001 FuelWatch commenced daily monitoring of prices for petrol, diesel and LPG within metropolitan Perth and many regional areas in the South West of the state.[1] The service covers most areas of Western Australia and operated by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. The service has led to a decrease in fuel prices.[2] Plans to implement a national system of the same kind failed to pass a Senate vote.[3][4]
