How to use the cycle
Time your fill-up in Brisbane
The weekday rule is only a starting point. What matters is where the Brisbane market sits in its cycle.
Fill fully near the low
When Brisbane is near a cycle low, fill the tank rather than topping up. The point of timing is to push out your next purchase past the next reset.
Top up only after a reset
Right after a sharp reset, a full fill-up is usually poor value unless you urgently need it. Buy only enough to get through, then check again as prices ease.
Combine timing with suburb choice
When the spread is wide, pair the best buy day with a cheaper suburb on the Brisbane city page to compound the saving.
