Use each figure for the question it can answer

These national figures help explain broad price and supply changes; they do not show the latest price or stock at an individual service station.

  1. Fuel cover is a national measure

    Official petroleum statistics describe estimated national stock cover for a reporting period. They do not show whether a particular station has a fuel grade available today.

  2. Terminal gate price is a benchmark

    Australian Institute of Petroleum terminal gate prices include fuel excise and GST. Later freight, operating and retail costs are separate, and the retail-minus-terminal gap is not a profit figure.

  3. Global costs do not predict your next fill

    Crude prices and the Australian dollar can affect wholesale costs, but local competition, contract timing, transport and retail price cycles can change what drivers see at the bowser.

  4. Local checks still matter

    Use the fuel map for reported station prices and update times. Use the outage tracker to see which stations may have a fuel grade unavailable.
