The cost of importing petrol is up 6% — crude oil has risen 9% recently and the Australian dollar has weakened against the USD. Both factors increase what retailers pay before they set prices at the pump. Even at the next price cycle low, expect to pay more than last month's low. If your tank allows, fill up a little more than usual now.
