    Darwin bowser prices eased over the week alongside lower wholesale costs at the terminal. The day of the week you fill up made little difference across Darwin servos, with prices staying very steady from day to day.

TGP uses the same dates and carries the last published value for at most six subsequent calendar days. Retail prices can already include carried station prices.

Coverage by fuel and period

The listed count is the inventory used at build time, not a historical census of every operating station. One station selling two fuels on one day contributes two station–fuel–days. Fuel-specific counts must not be added to obtain a distinct station total.

Fuel-specific counts must not be added to obtain a distinct station total. Distinct stations with eligible input prices, before the daily publication minimum. Calendar days describe the window, not new observations. A dash means the saved edition does not supply that count.

About this edition

How we worked out these figures · What this edition can establish

How we worked out these figures

  1. How we average

    The week runs Monday to Sunday. Each day, every service station in Darwin counts once at its latest price as of the end of that day, and the week's average is taken over every station-day, so a station that reported all week counts more than one that reported for a day.

  2. Suburbs

    A suburb is the ABS locality a station sits in. Each counted station must have a price on at least 4 of the seven days. At least 2 such stations are needed to rank a suburb.

  3. Wholesale

    The terminal gate price is the Australian Institute of Petroleum's weekday price at the Darwin terminal, averaged over the week. Brent crude is from the US Energy Information Administration and the exchange rate from the Federal Reserve, both via FRED.

  4. Coverage

    The peak daily count for a published fuel in Darwin was 48. This is not a distinct weekly station total.

  5. About these prices

    These are averages over the week, not today’s prices. Check the station price and its update time before you fill.

What this edition can establish

  1. Not recorded

    Carried retail price counts and excluded raw report counts were not retained; their shares are unavailable. The number of stations selling each fuel and litres sold are not recorded, so fuel-market and sales coverage percentages are unavailable.

  2. Saved edition

    Saved 9 November 2026 at 7:01 am, method version 2, PDF publication 1. The fingerprint identifies the saved data, not editorial changes. The PDF publication number does not supply a retained revision history.
