Fuel Prices

[Williamson]

This is going to be a hot topic for a while.

A snapshot from Petrol Spy, it depicts the highest prices around Melbourne at 21:00 16 March 2026.



Have around 40 litres remaining in the Jeep, it'll probably last me a coupla months.  If price don't drop by early May our planned three month caravan holiday is gunna hurt.

Some of our EV owning colleagues might have the last laugh.

I topped off the Sportage last night and paid $265.9cpl...going by what you've posted, I'm glad I got in last night! 

[Diesel]

Ouch! Was lucky enough to top off the Patrol before leaving for Canberra at $1.79 for 98.


Watching the cobwebs appear now for a little while.


Patrol has a 140L tank, so you'd better have some awesome cake and coffee before asking me to come visit!

Same = Filled the cruiser up at $1.62 before the rally, only for my intuition to nag me into taking the Kia to the rally instead - 138 litres of liquid gold sits in that tank now 

[Brock]

I put in $102 at 2.35 last friday, its up to 2,60 today.. dropping to 2.50 tomorrow ( can get 4 cents off that with the United app) In Perth..

Diesel that is

Might’ve been a glitch with Fuel Spy last night, today’s high prices, except for Shell, aren’t as high.  Lower prices seem to be around, but still mostly a $ more than a couple of weeks back.

ACCC has summoned the fuel companies for a please explain.

U98 is between $139.5 & $1.52 here in the Festival City

Petrol Spy has another huge glitch, or add a $1 on to above prices.

[Shillas]

Sorry, just finished a 12 hour work day & my eye for numbers is now shot.

There is $2 at the front 

[Williamson]

.... just finished .... work .....

What's that?

[Shillas]

It's a hobby I've pickedup.

Instead of a routine 9 - 5 I did for decades, every now & again I decide I'll let someone pay me for a limited time for 12 hour days, which then greatly increases my play money for travel & motorbikes.

I seem to have picked up a new hobby as well.  2 hrs a day at a school crossing.. $33 per hour plus mileage allowance.. Free hat, hiviz shirt, vest, raincoat n pants..Oh, and flags..

Now back to the scheduled programme

how many parents have you sent to the naughty corner?

[Brock]

Zero, though one car driver will be getting a talking to..

Nice, but won't have any effect. At the most they will get a slap on the wrist and told not to be so naughty again.

My local indy station was at 227.9 today, but the On-The-Run thieves were at 239.9.

Those thieves would currently be welcome in Melbourne. An example of our lowest prices.

Bargain! Servos around our area are slugging us $289.9 for diesel...

Paid $2.95 for 98 at the Nullarbor Roadhouse on my way home from the rally (arrived home Monday afternoon after a total 8,641 kms). I was just happy to be able buy petrol and get home.

[Biggles]

I just arrived home from an IBA trip down the Newell and back up the New England.  Nearly everywhere 91 was $2.399 to $2.499.  Brisbane is $2.399.  Very few pumps had "Unavailable" tags.
