Weekly Fuel Price Report: 21 June – 27 June 2026
Welcome to the weekly fuel report, brought to you by FuelRadar. For the week ending 27 June 2026, motorists across Australia have a genuine reason to smile when pulling into the service station. We have observed a nationwide downward trend in both petrol and diesel prices, providing some much-needed relief for household budgets. Whether you are commuting to the city centre or travelling across the country, fuelling up this week has been noticeably cheaper.
Current fuel prices and prediction
The past week has seen consistent price drops across almost all fuel types and regions, signalling a favourable phase in the current fuel price cycle. Here are the key highlights from our analysts:
- Widespread Relief: Unleaded 91 (U91) prices have fallen across all capital cities and major regional centres, with the national average settling at 161.35 cents per litre (cpl).
- Cheapest Capital: Adelaide is currently the cheapest capital city to fill up with U91, boasting an impressive average price of just 151.64 cpl after a 5.63 cpl drop.
- Diesel Plunges: Diesel drivers are the biggest winners this week. We have recorded massive drops in diesel prices, particularly in regional areas like the Sunshine Coast, where average regular diesel fell by a staggering 14.95 cpl to 189.21 cpl.
- Eastern Seaboard Cycle: Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane are all experiencing the downward phase of their respective price cycles, with U91 dropping by roughly 6.3 to 6.5 cpl in all three cities.
- Prediction: We anticipate that prices in the major eastern capitals will continue to fall slightly over the next few days before reaching the bottom of the cycle. Motorists should take advantage of these lower prices before the inevitable upward correction.

Price Trends by Fuel Type
Looking at the broader national picture, the following table highlights the national average prices across all major fuel types. Every major fuel category (excluding E85, which remains stable) has experienced a welcome decrease.
| Fuel Type | National Average Price (cpl) | Overall Trend |
|---|---|---|
| Unleaded 91 (U91) | 161.35 | Falling |
| Ethanol 10 (E10) | 158.42 | Falling |
| Premium 95 (P95) | 177.41 | Falling |
| Premium 98 (P98) | 186.29 | Falling |

| Premium Diesel (PDSL) | 187.81 | Falling |
| E85 | 240.04 | Stable |
Looking Ahead
As we project into the next 3 to 4 weeks, motorists in the eastern capitals (Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane) should prepare for the bottoming out of the current price cycle. We expect prices to reach their lowest point within the next 7 to 10 days. Following this, history dictates a sharp, sudden hike in prices as the new cycle begins. If you see U91 dropping below 150 cpl in your local area, it is highly recommended to fill your tank to maximise savings.
For motorists in Perth, the regular weekly cycle continues. We advise planning your fuelling routine around the cheapest days of the week to optimise your fuel budget. Regional centres, which traditionally experience slower price adjustments, should continue to see a gradual trickling down of prices, particularly for diesel, which is currently enjoying a strong downward correction globally.
