FuelRadar Weekly Fuel Price Report
Report Period: 29 May 2026 to 4 June 2026
Welcome to the FuelRadar weekly fuel report for the week ending 4 June 2026. Motorists across Australia have reason to celebrate this week, as the national fuel price situation reveals a comprehensive and welcome downward trend. Whether you are fuelling up in a major capital centre or travelling through regional areas, the cost of both petrol and diesel has fallen significantly. This broad relief at the bowser is driven by favourable international refined product costs and the discounting phase of the retail price cycle in major metropolitan markets.
Current fuel prices and prediction
- Universal Price Drops: Every capital city and regional centre analysed this week recorded falling average prices across all standard petrol and diesel grades.
- Cheapest Capital City: Adelaide currently boasts the cheapest Unleaded 91 (U91) in the country, averaging 169.22 cents per litre (cpl), following a significant drop of 9.08 cpl.
- Diesel Plunges in the ACT and NT: Canberra motorists saw a massive 37.31 cpl (14.34%) drop in standard diesel prices, bringing the average down to 230.29 cpl. Darwin also saw substantial diesel relief, falling 16.95 cpl.
- Eastern Seaboard Cycles: Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane are all experiencing the discounting phase of their respective price cycles. Sydney U91 dropped by a notable 11.64 cpl (6.39%), offering excellent opportunities to save.
- Stable E85: While traditional fuels are falling, E85 prices have remained largely stable across the country, showing a 0% change in most markets.

Looking Ahead
Over the next 3 to 4 weeks, we anticipate the current discounting cycle in the major eastern capitals—Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane—will soon reach its trough. Motorists in these centres should aim to fill their tanks now while prices are at their most favourable, as retailers will inevitably hike prices to reset the cycle. Drivers who fail to capitalise on these lower prices may find themselves paying 20 to 30 cents more per litre once the market turns.
In Perth, the weekly price cycle remains highly predictable, and drivers should continue to organise their fuelling routines around the cheapest days of the week. For diesel consumers nationwide, the outlook remains cautiously optimistic; barring any sudden international supply shocks, diesel prices are expected to stabilise or continue a gradual decline, offering sustained relief for transport and logistics operators travelling long distances.
