Pump prices against the wholesale terminal gate price

The terminal gate price (TGP) is the published wholesale price at the fuel terminal, including excise and GST. The gap above it covers delivery, the service station's costs and its margin, so it is not retailer profit.

U91 averages 228.8 c/L at the pump, 17.3 c/L above its average terminal gate price of 211.5 c/L (6 Nov 2026). Diesel is 17.2 c/L above its terminal gate price.
