Published: 16 June 2026

Welcome to your weekly fuel price update. For the week ending 14 June 2026, motorists across Australia have largely experienced a welcome reprieve at the bowser. Analysing the latest data, we are seeing a dominant downward trend in petrol and diesel prices across most capital cities and regional centres. The national average for Unleaded 91 currently sits at 169.43 cents per litre (cpl), providing some much-needed relief for those travelling on our roads.

Current fuel prices and prediction

This week's data reveals a predominantly falling market, particularly along the eastern seaboard where price cycles are currently moving in favour of the consumer. Here are the key highlights from this week's data:

• Eastern Capitals Cooling: Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane are all experiencing a 'Falling' trend for Unleaded 91, with Sydney seeing the largest drop of 5.12 cpl.
• Diesel Relief: Diesel prices are finally trending downwards nationally. Canberra saw a massive and welcome reduction in diesel prices, plummeting by 13.77 cpl (-6.28%) to an average of 215.16 cpl.
• Cheapest Capital: Adelaide remains the most affordable capital city for Unleaded 91, boasting an impressive average of just 158.73 cpl, which is well below the national average.
• Regional Differences: While capital cities are seeing drops, some regional centres like Townsville remain at the higher end of the spectrum, recording the highest national average for Unleaded 91 at 176.11 cpl.
• Stable Markets: Perth and Adelaide are currently categorised as 'Stable', with minimal price fluctuations over the past seven days.

Price Trends by Fuel Type

Below is a summary of the national averages for different fuel types, highlighting the cheapest and most expensive locations to fill up across the country.

Looking Ahead

As we look to the next three to four weeks, motorists in the eastern capitals (Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane) should prepare to take advantage of the current downward phase of the petrol price cycle. We anticipate that prices will continue to fall over the next 7 to 10 days before bottoming out. Drivers are advised to monitor the market closely and aim to fill their tanks before the inevitable sharp hike that marks the beginning of the next cycle.

For Perth and Adelaide, expect the regular, shorter price cycles to continue. Perth motorists should continue to plan their fuelling around the city's predictable weekly cycle to optimise their savings. Meanwhile, diesel prices are expected to remain relatively stable or experience minor reductions across most centres, reflecting current international refined oil benchmarks.
