As we analyse the data from the past week, the overarching trend indicates welcome relief for those travelling on our roads, particularly along the eastern seaboard where major price cycles are currently in their discounting phase.

Current fuel prices and prediction

Widespread Relief: The dominant trend across Australian cities this week is falling prices, particularly for Unleaded 91 and E10. Motorists in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane are currently benefiting from the downward phase of their respective price cycles.

Looking Ahead

Over the next three to four weeks, we anticipate the current downward trend in eastern capital cities (Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane) to reach the bottom of their respective price cycles. Motorists should capitalise on these lower prices now, as historical cycle data suggests a sharp upward correction is likely to follow by early to mid-July.

Perth will continue its predictable weekly cycle, with Tuesdays remaining the optimal day for fuelling up. Adelaide's currently stable and low prices may experience minor fluctuations, but no immediate spikes are forecast. Regional centres should see a gradual, albeit slower, decrease in prices as capital city drops continue to filter through the supply chain.
