Lucky motorists fill up their tanks for less than a dollar a litre

When was the last time you filled up your tank for less than a dollar a litre?

Most of us would have to cast our minds back decades, but for lucky drivers at the Metro service station at Punchbowl in south-western Sydney, it was only a matter of hours ago.

For two hours today a bowser bonanza saw fuel prices set to 99 cents as part of a stunt from new giveaway company Dreams Come True.

DCT Club's boss Jon Tsingolis said he hoped the offering would help ease the cost-of-living crunch facing many Aussies.

"The cost of living is getting obviously more and more expensive," Tsingolis said.

"And obviously one thing that we want to do is help the everyday Australians releasing stress on their day-to-day lives."

While Tsingolis plans to continue the initiative for DCT members, today's petrol handout was completely free.
