Even though the price cycle suggests waiting, oil prices have risen 11% in 2 weeks, and the AUD has weakened 2.1% — import costs have risen 8% in two weeks. The next cycle low will likely be higher than recent lows — filling up now locks in a better price than waiting.

Price History & 4-Week Outlook
Unleaded 91 · Solid = historical · Dashed = forecast
The cost of importing petrol is up 8% — crude oil has risen 11% 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.

About Sydney petrol price cycles
Petrol prices in Sydney follow a well-documented boom-bust cycle driven by retail competition between service stations. Prices typically drop to a trough before rising sharply, then gradually falling again over several weeks. Understanding where Sydney sits in this cycle can save you hundreds of dollars per year.
PetrolPulse tracks live prices from the NSW FuelCheck scheme and combines cycle analysis with live oil market signals to forecast the next price low. Our recommendation is updated daily.
