How we forecast
FuelRadar has helped Australian drivers find cheaper fuel since 2020. Each estimate starts from Karratha'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. Tomorrow's figure is FuelWatch's official price, not an estimate, so the accuracy below does not count it.
Next-day estimates missed by 0.8 c/L on average, closer than assuming prices stay the same (0.9 c/L).
