Crude oil -13.1%AUD/USD -2.0%medium confidence

Crude oil has fallen 13% and the australian dollar has weakened — the cost of importing petrol is down 6%. That typically flows through to the pump within 3–4 weeks. Don't over-fill right now — cheaper prices are likely coming.

Brisbane runs a 3-4 week cycle, slower than Sydney

Brisbane's discount cycle has averaged 20-28 days for the past few years, slightly longer than Sydney's and far longer than Perth's weekly cycle. The peak-to-trough swing is typically 20-30¢/L, with a sharp single-day jump followed by a slow daily grind down. Cycle timing is set by which major brand decides to break ranks and drop first — when 7-Eleven or Coles Express moves, the rest of the metro follows within 48 hours.

QLD has real-time price transparency

Since 2018 Queensland has required every fuel retailer to report price changes to the government within 30 minutes, the same standard NSW set with FuelCheck. That feed is what PetrolPulse ingests — prices on this page are within minutes of the bowser across all ~1,800 stations in the state, with the bulk of them in the Brisbane / Gold Coast / Sunshine Coast corridor.

Where Brisbane's cheap fuel lives

Logan, Ipswich, and the outer southern suburbs consistently run cheaper than the inner ring. The big-box discounters (Costco at North Lakes, 7-Eleven and United across the metro) typically set the floor on cheap days. The river divides more than geography: northside suburbs around Chermside and Aspley sit closer to the metro median, while inner-south and Fortitude Valley servos usually carry a premium because of property costs and lower competitive density.
