How does FuelRadar make the forecast?
FuelRadar has helped Australian drivers find cheaper fuel since 2020. Each estimate starts from Ballarat'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 Ballarat P98 outlook, adjusted by -8.2 c/L using local price history. The likely range widens with each day ahead.
Next-day estimates missed by 1.2 c/L on average over the 30 days to 14 Nov, closer than assuming prices stay the same (1.3 c/L).
