How we forecast
FuelRadar has helped Australian drivers find cheaper fuel since 2020. Each estimate starts from Albany'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 Albany P98 outlook, adjusted by -3.4 c/L using local price history. The likely range widens with each day ahead.
Next-day estimates missed by 0.5 c/L on average, closer than assuming prices stay the same (0.6 c/L).

When will P98 prices go down in Orana?
Estimate only (yesterday's outlook): P98 in Orana is estimated to edge down about 1.0 c/L, to 246.6 c/L by Tue 17 Nov (likely 240.8–259.9), from 247.6 c/L estimated for Tue 10 Nov.

Check current station prices before changing when you fill.
What is the best day to buy P98 in Orana?
There is no fixed best day for Orana. 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 Albany were off by 0.5 c/L on average over 30 days checked. That beat assuming prices wouldn't move (0.6 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. While the update runs, we may show the previous forecast with its date.
