Fuel comes up the range
Toowoomba has no port or import terminal of its own. Its fuel comes by road from the Brisbane terminals, about 125 km east and up the range, and it still doesn't cost more: since April 2026 Toowoomba's average unleaded price has run about a cent below Brisbane's, moving with it almost day for day.
A wide gap between stations
Toowoomba has one of the widest station-to-station spreads we track among regional cities: on a typical September 2026 day, about 18¢/L separated the cheaper and dearer stations. The cheaper ones sat on the city's edges, in Harlaxton, Drayton and Withcott, while Highfields to the north averaged several cents above the city.
