A DECISION by Coles to extend its 8c-a-litre petrol discount until Easter will be investigated by the ACCC as part of its probe into shopper dockets.

The initiative has attracted the attention of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, which is already examining whether supermarket docket deals "in the long term lead to consumer detriment".
The fear is that the major supermarket chains will run independent servos out of business then jack up prices.

No mention of EDR or Woolworths in the article but they have also been steadily reducing targeted and non-targeted bonus point offers with more fuel offers. I guess the supermarkets have fuel offers work in enticing customers.
