Find out how much more it’s costing you to commute to work as fuel prices rise.
At current fuel prices, people in Sydney are paying about $385 more over the year to drive to work than they did in 2019-2020.
In NSW, people who commute to work in a car drove, on average, a total of 6000 kilometres each over the 12 months to June 30, 2020, according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures. At Sydney’s average petrol price in mid-July of 196.7 cents per litre, that same commute would now cost $1227, or 45 per cent more than it did two years ago.
For the average car commuter in Greater Sydney who travels 15.89 kilometres to work , a $50 refill will now get you 15.4 one-way trips to work, compared to 22.4 trips in 2019-20.And if prices reached 233 cents per litre in 2023, $50 would get you 13 one-way trips to work, more than nine fewer trips than it got you in 2019-20.NRMA spokesman Peter Khoury said fuel prices were at the highest on record in Sydney on June 15 and have been falling since.
