Seven in ten Australian drivers have changed their driving habits in response to skyrocketing fuel prices, according to new national polling commissioned by the Climate Council.
Motorists are getting hit hard at the pump since the return of the full fuel excise tax, with some cities still yet to reach the peak of their fuel cycles.
Now that the ACT is experiencing exorbitant fuel prices once again, will Chief Minister Andrew Barr implement his same stance from 2020 to help Canberrans pay less at the pump?
Australians are spending 40 per cent more for fuel than they were a year ago and Canberrans are spending an average of $381.59 per week on transport, the country's peak motoring body says.
Australians will get one-off cash handouts and tax breaks and pay less for fuel under a raft of pre-election sweeteners announced in the federal budget.
