Retail and wholesale on the same days, U91

Each common date counts once. Retail is the mean of the saved daily capital averages, not the station-day-weighted headline mean. 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. Means and spreads are rounded separately. The gross spread is not profit or a causal explanation. Retail carry limit: 30 days. Unmatched dates are excluded; common days are not a station or sales coverage percentage.

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. 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
How we average
The week runs Monday to Sunday. Each day, every service station in Melbourne 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.
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.
Wholesale
The terminal gate price is the Australian Institute of Petroleum's weekday price at the Melbourne 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.
Coverage
The peak daily count for a published fuel in Melbourne was 850. This is not a distinct weekly station total.
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
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.
Saved edition
Saved 4 November 2026 at 11:15 am, method version 2, PDF publication 4. The fingerprint identifies the saved data, not editorial changes. The PDF publication number does not supply a retained revision history.
