Overview
- The court found branding and pump signage promoted additive benefits for 'Mobil Synergy Fuel' that were not supplied at nine stations in north and central Queensland.
- The ACCC said the petrol delivered to those sites was the same or substantially the same as unadditised fuel available from other retailers.
- Mobil admitted the conduct occurred between August 2020 and July 2024 after the regulator brought court action in 2024.
- Court orders require Mobil to publish corrective notices, implement a consumer law compliance program, and contribute to the ACCC's costs.
- Mobil said it acknowledges errors and has removed or covered the specific benefit claims on pumps at the affected locations.
