When is fuel cheapest in Central Coast?
Central Coast's price cycle is paused, with no regular price jumps lately (the last jump started Thu 2 July): its U91 prices are following wholesale costs and the recent trend, so they tend to move a week or two after the terminal gate price.
On Fri 6 Nov the national terminal gate (wholesale) price was 211.5 c/L and the Central Coast city average 237.9 c/L, 26.4 c/L above it.
No weekday was the cheapest in most of the last 11 full weeks to : the U91 weekday averages in Central Coast were within 1.0 c/L of each other once the overall price movement is removed.

How we forecast
FuelRadar has helped Australian drivers find cheaper fuel since 2020. Each estimate starts from Central Coast's reported daily city averages and how they have moved recently. A city daily average is FuelRadar's scheduled morning average of the city's reported station prices, the figure this page quotes for every capital. Where a city has a regular price cycle, the estimate projects that cycle; elsewhere it follows the recent trend, blended with the latest dated wholesale price change. The likely range widens with each day ahead.
Next-day estimates missed by 0.8 c/L on average, closer than assuming prices stay the same (1.0 c/L).
