Fuel Prices

[LeftCoastOverland]

It's on everyone's mind, Lets see your highest prices.

I'm in Ballarat for work this week, and as of 16/03/26 most servos here are in the $2.70 - $3.00 / L range for Diesel. With some servos running out of fuel entirely in more regional spots.

The price has steadily gone up by 10-15 cent increments every few days.
Apparently Australia is down to 18 days of Diesel in reserve

PetrolSpy is a good app.
I use 95ULP.
Today it's 249.9cpl , but I get a 10c pl discount for being a good boy over 45 years.

I've noticed petrol is significantly more affordable lately.

I actually haven’t thought about it. I bought a gas pig.

My nephew lives in Central Qld and his local has it at $3.20/L
Thieves the lot of them.

This is the Highest I saw yesterday tooling around Ballarat running errands. The lowest has been $2.67 at a Caltex tucked away in a residential neighbourhood.

The grocery stores sure have boosted their prices as well. $111 got me one bag of food for 3 days at Aldi last night.

The fuel prices are certainly taking the shine off my 1500km lap around some central Queensland National Parks next week. I figure with the LRA aux tank and not towing I'm good for around 1300km (840miles) assuming ~150 litres of useable fuel (85 main + 65 aux). The prices are nuts but supply is holding up for now
That range estimate is mostly running on sealed A roads with one day of 4WD tracks around Kroombit Tops.

Our visit to Kroombit Tops includes a planned visit to Beautiful Betsy, a US B-24D Liberator that crashed in February 1945 with 8 souls on board. The wreckage was located by chance in 1994.
