   The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission closely monitors the retail prices of unleaded petrol, diesel and automotive liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in all Australian capital cities and in around 150 regional centers and country towns. It then uses this information to examine the competitiveness of retail fuel prices in the interests of consumers.
   The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission also administer competition and consumer protection laws across Australia. These laws apply to all industry sectors as well as the fuel industry. When sufficient evidence exists that a business has misled consumers or behaved in an anti-competitive way to their detriment, the ACCC can take legal action. The ACCC has taken action against businesses to protect consumers where there has been evidence of illegal conduct in the Australian fuel industry.
