How to time the Hobart cycle

The chart below shows the rolling 90-day average price. Look for the repeating sawtooth shape — sharp jump, slow decline — and read where today sits in that pattern.

The peak

The chart jumps up sharply. If your tank can wait, compare nearby prices before filling straight after a rise.

The bottom

Prices often settle lower before the next reset. This is when filling a larger tank can make sense.

Cycle length

Watch the spacing between peaks. Hobart's cycles can be uneven, so treat the next jump as guidance rather than a guarantee.

Common questions

Petrol price cycle FAQ

Retailers reset prices simultaneously to recover margin after a discounting period. The reset is usually triggered by the market leader (often the major brands' regional offices) and competitors follow within hours.
