Fuel Quality Monitoring

Consumer Law

 Measurement


Under the Consumer Guarantees Act, goods that are normally bought for personal use must be of an acceptable quality, "fit for purpose", free of minor defects and safe. These guarantees naturally apply to fuel.

The Fair Trading Act states that companies can't misrepresent the qualities of a product they sell you. So, for example, it’s illegal to sell petrol labelled as Premium Unleaded when it's really Unleaded 91.
