Weekly Fuel Price Report: 8 June – 14 June 2026

Overall Fuel Price Situation

Welcome to the FuelRadar weekly fuel report for the week ending 14 June 2026. Motorists across Australia will be pleased to see widespread relief at the bowser this week, with petrol and diesel prices trending downwards across almost all major centres. The national average for Unleaded 91 (U91) currently sits at 169.43 cents per litre (cpl), while Diesel (DSL) averages 204.18 cpl.

The eastern capital cities are currently benefiting from the discounting phase of their respective price cycles, providing an excellent opportunity for drivers to fill up. Meanwhile, regional areas are also seeing steady, albeit slower, price drops across most fuel types.

Current Fuel Prices and Prediction

East Coast Discounting: Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane are all deep into the discounting phase of their petrol price cycles. Sydney saw a significant U91 drop of 5.12 cpl, bringing the city average down to 163.85 cpl.
Adelaide Leads the Pack: Adelaide remains the cheapest capital city for unleaded petrol, boasting an impressive average of 158.73 cpl for U91 and 154.66 cpl for E10.
Diesel Drops Significantly: Diesel drivers in Canberra enjoyed massive relief this week, with prices plummeting by a remarkable 13.77 cpl. Geelong and Newcastle also saw strong diesel price reductions.
Stable Markets: Perth and Adelaide are showing stable trends this week. Perth's U91 average remained steady at 164.76 cpl, following its predictable weekly cycle.
Premium Fuels Follow Suit: Premium 95 and Premium 98 have mirrored the downward trend of standard unleaded, particularly in New South Wales and Victoria, making it slightly more affordable for those requiring higher-octane fuels.

Looking Ahead

Over the next three to four weeks, we anticipate the following movements in the retail fuel market:

Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane: Motorists in these eastern capitals should take advantage of the current discounting phase. Prices are expected to hit the bottom of their cycles within the next 7 to 10 days before a sharp, sudden hike occurs. We strongly advise fuelling up now to optimise your savings.
Perth: Perth's regular weekly price cycle will continue. Motorists are reminded to organise their fill-ups on Tuesdays when prices are traditionally at their lowest, avoiding the Wednesday spikes.
Adelaide: Prices are incredibly competitive right now. While currently stable, Adelaide's cycle can turn quickly, so drivers should lock in these sub-160 cpl prices while they last.
Regional Centres & Territories: Cities like Hobart, Darwin, and Canberra generally do not follow a sharp discount cycle. However, the current downward trend in wholesale prices suggests we will continue to see a slow, steady decline in pump prices over the coming weeks.
