Petrol prices are expected to rise in Brisbane and Melbourne as they reach the peak of their fuel cycles before Christmas. Meanwhile, Sydney drivers can anticipate a slight decrease in prices. The NRMA attributes these fluctuations to regular price cycles in Australia's major cities, except for Canberra, Hobart, and Darwin.
Petrol prices are set to rise in Brisbane and Melbourne as they hit the top of their fuel cycles ahead of Christmas , the National Roads and Motorists Association says, while Sydney-siders can expect a minor fall in prices. Prices in Melbourne are climbing, currently at 192 cents per litre and Brisbane is nearing the high point of the cycle at 203.8 cents per litre, according to
. Adelaide is starting to rise at 168.9 cents per litre, with Perth prices peaking at 196 cents in line with its seven-day price cycle. Canberra is stable while Hobart and Darwin are rising slowly. Petrol prices move up and down in regular patterns in Australia's largest capital cities, though not in Canberra, Hobart or Darwin in price cycles.
spokesperson Peter Khoury said the unusually slow fall in prices is something the ACCC "should look at". "It's pleasing the cycle is falling in Sydney; what's less pleasing is that those falls are happening at a snail's pace at two-thirds of a cent per day — the oil companies must fix this now," he said.
