QLD Fuel Prices – Week of 13 April 2026

Biggest Movers and Daily QLD Petrol Price Trends This Week

P98 led the charge down, shedding 13.4c to reach 234.9 c/L in metro areas. E10 and P95 weren't far behind, each dropping just over 13c. If you're running a compatible engine, E10 at 207.8 c/L metro is comfortably the cheapest option on offer right now.

U91 eased from 219.8c on Monday the 13th down to 205.3c by Sunday the 19th, a smooth and consistent slide through the week. That kind of steady downward drift is exactly what drivers hope to see.

Diesel told a more turbulent story. Metro diesel spiked sharply to 369c on Tuesday the 14th before correcting hard to 304.8c on Thursday. Rural diesel also saw wild swings mid-week, hitting 378c on Wednesday before settling back down. If you missed those spikes, consider yourself lucky.

P95 and P98 both followed a calmer downward path through the week, with P95 metro finishing Sunday at 220.8c and P98 at 229.6c.

QLD Supply Conditions Worth Knowing About

Something to keep on your radar: 131 station-fuels across Queensland are currently flagged as out of stock, compared to none last week. P95 and diesel are each showing 23 stations dry, and P98 has 21 affected. It's not a crisis, but if your local station is out of your preferred grade, that explains why. Worth checking the app before you drive out of your way.
