How we check accuracy

How we forecast

FuelRadar has helped Australian drivers find cheaper fuel since 2020. Each estimate starts from Sunshine 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. Based on the Sunshine Coast P98 outlook, adjusted by -4.7 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, closer than assuming prices stay the same (0.4 c/L).

Forecast questions

When will P98 prices go down in Wurtulla?

Estimate only: P98 in Wurtulla is estimated to edge down about 4.4 c/L, to 247.6 c/L by Wed 18 Nov (likely 239.8–263.3), from 252.0 c/L estimated for Wed 11 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 P98 in Wurtulla?

There is no fixed best day for Wurtulla. 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 P98 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 P98 forecasts for Sunshine Coast were off by 0.4 c/L on average over 30 days checked. That beat assuming prices wouldn't move (0.4 c/L).

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.
