Hello FuelWatchers!

As I am sure you are aware by now, the new and improved FuelWatch is online.

Over the past three months, we have been listening intently to your feedback and surveying FuelWatchers to determine what our users really want from FuelWatch. From the information gathered we have added some exciting new services and made changes that make searching for fuel prices on FuelWatch even quicker, easier and more comprehensive. The new and improved FuelWatch results directly from what users said they wanted or indeed, did not want.

So, what are the new services?

Premium Service Free Trial: The FuelWatch Free Trial gives each FuelWatcher the opportunity to tryout our new premium email delivery service for 21 days at absolutely no cost. To learn more about the FuelWatch Free Trial click here.
Coverage of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast: We have extended monitoring coverage to the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.
Map Search: Allows you to search for the best fuel prices simply by selecting regions on a map.
Street Name Search: Allows you to search for the best fuel prices by street name. This service is particularly helpful for those people who commute to work and drive the same roads daily.
Map WatchList: The Map WatchList is the quickest and easiest WatchList to set up. It is delivered by email and you select whole regions on a map to be monitored in your WatchList. It is easy to schedule and with this type of WatchList you will receive the top 6 fuel prices in your selected regions.
Advanced WatchList: The Map WatchList offers both Email and SMS delivery. With this type of WatchList you select particular service stations to be monitored by completing a postcode, suburb, street name or map search. You can select up to 25 service stations for each WatchList. The Advanced WatchList is easy to schedule and you will receive the top 6 fuel prices from the service stations chosen.

We are enormously pleased with our new services and are confident they will greatly assist motorists in saving money at the pump.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the improvements to the FuelWatch website, feel free to contact me.

Kind Regards,

Bernadette Murray

BMW's trend-setting X5 has been given a facelift explains STUART MARTIN.
The all-terrain wagon that reset the benchmark for on-road dynamics has a new face. It's not in the realm of a Michael Jackson facelift and you'll still recognise it when it debuts in Frankfurt, but the new X5 has had an under-bonnet upgrade, equipment additions and a five-star performance in the latest Euro NCAP crash testing session.

Each month we will have a fuel saving tip that has been sent in from one of our FuelWatcher's. If you know of a way that can help other FuelWatcher's save money on their fuel bill please send it in. If your tip is published we will send you a $25 FREE fuel voucher.

This month's winner is Jack, Casuarina Beach, NSW

Clean air filters regularly. The air filter prevents dust from fouling the engine. Dust causes rapid wear of engine components and increases fuel consumption.

Congratulations, your $25 free fuel voucher is on the way!
