Global Oil Markets
We track Singapore MOGAS spot prices, the benchmark that determines Australian wholesale fuel costs. When it moves, local retail prices follow within approximately two weeks.
The Australian Dollar
A softer AUD means more expensive imported fuel. We factor in the AUD/USD exchange rate so currency fluctuations don't catch you off guard.
Local Price Cycles
City-specific cycle data calibrated to your market. Multi-week cycles in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane; a strict weekly cycle in Perth. Your recommendation is always timed to your city.
