Price cycle questions
What is the best day to buy Premium 98 in Gold Coast?
Tuesday was the cheapest day in 7 of the last 11 full weeks to 8 Nov, about 2.3 c/L under that week's average once the overall price movement is removed. It is a guide only: where prices sit in the cycle matters more, so check the chart above.
Where is Gold Coast's Premium 98 price cycle now?
It is paused: there have been no regular price jumps lately, and the last jump started 23 Jul. P98 averaged 253.8 c/L on 9 Nov. Compare nearby stations rather than waiting for a low.
What is the Premium 98 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.
