I think the WA version has been around longer. The crucial difference is that 
in WA the service station is only allowed to change the price once a day, so 
they can't indicate really cheap petrol, wait 30 min, and put the price up as 
the suckers arrive.
If I remember rightly the Rudd government tried to introduce a federal 
fuelwatch scheme too, based on the WA one (which people love). It foundered 
after an intense campaign from the petrol companies who said it would "reduce 
competition" and "wouldn't be in the interests of motorists."
