Petrol prices across Sydney have fallen below a dollar a litre for the first time in three years.

The cheapest regular unleaded petrol (ULP) can be found at a BP service station at Croydon Park, in Sydney's inner west, where it is priced at 100.9 cents per litre, according to independent price tracking website motormouth.com.au.

Service stations at Fairfield, Brookvale, Beacon Hill and Frenchs Forest are selling ULP for 101.9 cents per litre.

However, ethanol-blended fuel E10 can be bought for as little as 98.7 cents per litre at the Speedway garage in Fairfield, and for 98.9 cents per litre elsewhere in Fairfield, Beacon Hill, Frenchs Forest and Forestville.

Diesel fuel remains about 30 cents per litre more expensive than ULP.

Wednesday's genuine drop in prices follows a stunt last month when a dozen independent petrol stations slashed 40 cents off their usual fuel price, selling it for 94.9 cents a litre in protest at what they said were anti-competitive practices by the oil giants.
