Price cycle questions

What is the best day to buy Premium 98 in Adelaide?

There is no reliably cheaper day right now. No weekday was consistently cheapest in Adelaide over the last 12 full weeks to 29 Oct: the weekday averages sat within 0.3 c/L of each other. Where prices sit in the cycle matters more than the day of the week, so check the chart above.

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.

Do regional towns have price cycles?

Many regional towns have weaker or irregular cycles. With fewer stations, prices tend to follow wholesale costs and local competition.
