Price Trend & Outlook
Unleaded 91 · Solid = historical · Dashed = forecast
Petrol import costs are currently around 21% above where they were six weeks ago, driven by global supply disruptions. While costs have stabilised in the short term, the price floor has risen — expect to pay more than historical averages for the foreseeable future. Short-term cycle swings still apply, but each peak and trough will be higher than what was normal before the disruption.
Historical data is still building for Adelaide. Chart accuracy improves as more daily prices accumulate.
