Fuel price trends update 23 April 2024
It will be another week before we know if we have hit a new national weekly price average record for petrol. The only saving grace may have been the fact that there was no price cycle in Adelaide last week.
The peak has passed for Sydney, and now we are starting to see prices come down in most suburbs (albeit slowly for now). We can expect a more rapid fall in the coming two weeks.
The Melbourne price cycle is now in full swing and is expected to peak in the coming few days. Most service stations in the city are now selling unleaded 91 for 235.9cpl.
Brisbane is nearing the peak of the latest price cycle, with almost all locations in the city posting 235.9cpl for unleaded 91.
Adelaide motorists are the winners from the past week – no price cycle yet. It must be imminent, though, as retailers have been operating on very minimal margins for some time now.
Perth average prices rose again in the past week (2.8cpl). Expect this Wednesday’s peak price for unleaded 91 to be approximately 235.9cpl.
Darwin average prices rose slightly over the past week.
Hobart was similar to Darwin with a small rise in average prices.
