Price cycle questions

What is the best day to buy petrol in Darwin?

There is no reliably cheaper day right now. No weekday was consistently cheapest in Darwin over the last 11 full weeks to 8 Nov: the weekday averages sat within 0.9 c/L of each other. Where prices sit in the cycle matters more than the day of the week, so check the chart above.

Where is Darwin's petrol price cycle now?

It is paused: there have been no regular price jumps lately, and the last jump started 24 Jul. U91 averaged 242.3 c/L on 9 Nov. Compare nearby stations rather than waiting for a low.

What is the Unleaded 91 price cycle?

In the big capitals, retailers raise prices sharply over a day or two, then let them ease over the following weeks. The pattern comes from retail pricing, not from wholesale costs.

How long is one cycle?

There is no fixed length. It changes between cities and from one cycle to the next, so read the dated chart rather than relying on a weekday rule.

Should I wait for the bottom of the cycle?

If your tank can wait and prices are near a recent high, buying only what you need until they ease usually costs less. If you need fuel today, compare nearby stations.
