Understanding Price Cycles
Fuel prices in major cities follow predictable cycles. Prices gradually increase over several days or weeks, then drop sharply before starting again.
- •Weekly cycle cities: Many major cities have 5-7 day cycles. Fill up mid-to-late week for best prices.
- •Extended cycle cities: Some cities run longer cycles of 2-6 weeks. Monitor charts to time purchases.
- •Regional areas: More stable prices but often higher due to transport costs.
Maximise Your Savings

- 4.Shop around: Prices can vary by 20+ cents per litre between stations in the same suburb.
- 5.Use fuel vouchers: Supermarket fuel discounts can save 4-8 cents per litre.
