How we check accuracy

How we forecast

FuelRadar has helped Australian drivers find cheaper fuel since 2020. Each estimate starts from Toowoomba'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. Based on the Toowoomba U91 outlook, adjusted by 5.5 c/L using local price history. The likely range widens with each day ahead.

Next-day estimates missed by 0.4 c/L on average, no better than assuming prices stay the same (0.5 c/L).

Forecast questions

Estimate only (yesterday's outlook): U91 in Highfields is estimated to edge down about 3.9 c/L, to 228.7 c/L by Sat 21 Nov (likely 222.2–244.3), from 232.6 c/L estimated for Sat 14 Nov. The dated 30-day forecast shows a likely range, not a promised low date. Check current station prices before changing when you fill.

What is the best day to buy U91 in Highfields?

There is no fixed best day for Highfields. Compare current reported station prices and their update times. A recent high or a lower estimate does not confirm a cheaper date.

How accurate is FuelRadar Australia's U91 price outlook?

Not accurate enough yet to tell you to fill or wait, so we don't. From 10 Oct to 8 Nov our next-day U91 forecasts for Toowoomba were off by 0.4 c/L on average over 30 days checked. Assuming prices wouldn't move was just as close.

Do higher prices mean they will fall soon?

A recent high does not confirm a turnaround. Compare the reported movement with the estimated range. If that range still includes today's price, a fall is not established. Check current station prices before deciding to wait.

How often is the outlook updated?

We update the forecast overnight. For anything that changed today, check the map. While the update runs, we may show the previous forecast with its date.
