Great News! Seniors can get a petrol discount at United Petroleum

Here at the Seniors Discount Club, it's our mission to help Australian seniors get the best out of life without breaking the bank.

So it's with great excitement that we announce a wonderful–and much-needed–initiative by the New South Wales (NSW) government and United Petroleum.


The state government has roared into action, securing a fuel discount for seniors at any participating United service station. Seniors with an NSW Seniors or Seniors Savers card can get a 4 cents discount per litre on petrol.

While it may sound like a couple of cents, it amounts to quite a chunk off your petrol bill. To give it a bit of perspective, our savvy senior, Warren Smith, sheds light on what this might mean.

'The four-cent discount would make a huge difference to all seniors,' Warren insists, and we couldn't agree more.

For example, if you're filling up a tank with about 50 litres of your standard fuel priced at $1.70, you'll save approximately $2 a tank with this discount. Now that's nothing to scoff at! Especially considering how prices seem to levitate every time we turn around.

Recognising the impact of living costs on the elderly, NSW seniors minister Jodie Harrison says the government has left no stone unturned in trying to introduce as many discounts as possible for constituents. In her appeal, she said, 'the rising cost of living was a problem,' stating that this initiative will ‘help keep more money in seniors’ pockets and ease price pressure at the pump’.

Harrison also added that she would welcome businesses to join forces with the government to provide more discounts for seniors.

'If there are any other businesses that want to partner with the NSW government to provide discounts for seniors, I'm all ears,' Harrison declared.


Still, this new partnership is not without criticism. Nationals leader Dugald Saunders earlier pointed out this offer is ‘laughable’ and not better than the regional travel card scheme, where $250 was pre-loaded in a card that could be used at any petrol station. The card could then be used as payment for any transport needs: petrol, taxi trips, bus services, Opal card top-ups or even pre-booked NSW trains. The Minns government, however, halted new applications for this card last July.

‘Mathematically, if you had a car with a 60-litre tank, you'd get $2.40 saving if you filled your car from empty. So you'd have to do that 105 times per year twice a week to save more than the $250 you get from the regional travel card,’ Saunders said.

‘Rather than putting up this silly idea of saving cents per litre at participating stores, let people have what they need,’ he added.

As of writing, it has yet to be confirmed if the same initiative will be available for other states in Australia. But while you wait, you may look around for deals you might find useful in your area with our handy online discounts directory.

For more information, you may visit United Petroleum’s website to take advantage of this sweet deal.

Meanwhile, NSW seniors who still don’t have a seniors card can also get started on getting one here.


Key Takeaways
  • Seniors in NSW will receive a fuel discount of 4 cents off every litre through a partnership with United Petroleum.
  • The fuel discount is expected to save seniors roughly $2 per tank when purchasing about 50 litres of fuel at $1.70.
  • NSW seniors minister Jodie Harrison is open to more businesses providing discounts for seniors due to the rising cost of living.
  • Nationals leader Dugald Saunders earlier said this initiative is ‘laughable’ compared to the regional travel card.
  • It has yet to be confirmed if the discount will be available to other states in Australia.

With these discounts in place, it's hard not to feel like the king of the road. So, fellow members, it's time to hit the highway and enjoy the ride with your well-deserved perks.

To me, it's a joke an where do you find these United service stations anyway
 
RACT (same as NRMA in NSW) already has this partnership in Tasmania. Very useful as there are plenty of United service stations in Tassie - many more than Coles or Woollies have.
 
Since we already get 4c a litre off fuel at woolies and Coles service stations, using our rewards cards, this is just the government and uniting trying to jump on the band wagon and declare “look at us, we are helping our seniors”. Well, you are not giving us anything we don’t already get so if you are genuine about helping us seniors bring back the $250 seniors travel card. That way all eligible seniors will benefit, and not just the ones who have a united garage close enough to utilise this measly 4c discount.
 
I live in a regional town, the nearest United is 90kms away. We already have Coles and Woolworth's petrol stations here that give 4c off anyway. So no use to me at all. The $250 card was much better, as we could use it for trains, buses and at any petrol station.
 
Dont forget the seniors in SA, WA, Qld, Vic, Tassie, and NT . Seniors don’t just live in NSW
Living in Tassie we get 6 cents a litre off at United Servo's if you are a RACT member, 6 cents off with Woolies at their Servo's and 4 cents off from Coles at Shell Servo's, that's because our Petrol is dearer than the mainland $2.00 litre for ULP at the moment.
