How we check accuracy

How we forecast

FuelRadar has helped Australian drivers find cheaper fuel since 2020. Each estimate starts from Townsville'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 Townsville Diesel outlook, adjusted by 0.5 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 (0.4 c/L).

Forecast questions

When will Diesel prices go down in Thuringowa Central?

Estimate only (yesterday's outlook): Diesel in Thuringowa Central is estimated to change little, to 275.6 c/L by Tue 17 Nov (likely 270.7–294.9), from 276.4 c/L estimated for Tue 10 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 Diesel in Thuringowa Central?

There is no fixed best day for Thuringowa Central. 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 Diesel 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 Diesel forecasts for Townsville 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.
