QLD Fuel Prices – Week of 20 April 2026

Queensland drivers caught a meaningful break this week. Metro U91 dropped 20.5c to land at 189.9 c/L, the third consecutive weekly fall, and diesel delivered the biggest single-week relief of the lot, shedding 34.2c in metro areas. If you've been watching prices creep down and wondering when to fill up, this week made the answer clearer.

QLD Petrol and Diesel Prices – Weekly Snapshot

Biggest Movers in QLD Fuel Prices This Week

Diesel was the standout. Metro diesel fell from around 290.8 c/L on Monday the 20th down to 255.3 c/L by Sunday, a steady, uninterrupted slide across every single day of the week. That's real money for tradies and anyone driving a diesel vehicle. Rural diesel also dropped a solid 27.8c, though at 284.3 c/L it's still costing country drivers nearly 15 cents more per litre than their metro counterparts.

U91 followed a similar downward path all week, starting at 201.4 c/L on Monday and easing to 182.9 c/L by Sunday with no mid-week spikes or reversals. E10 tracked almost identically, finishing the week at its cheapest on Sunday too. The absence of any price spike this week is genuinely unusual and welcome.

P95 fell 20.5c to 205.3 c/L metro, while P98 shed 20.4c to reach 214.4 c/L. Across every fuel type, the direction was the same: consistently down.

QLD Metro Station Price Range and Brand Averages

Shopping around still makes a massive difference. The cheapest metro station recorded 171.5 c/L for U91, while the most expensive came in at 277.9 c/L. That's a 106.4c gap between the best and worst price in the same city. With Pearl Energy averaging 182.4 c/L across its 14 metro stations and some independents averaging 193.2 c/L, simply choosing a different brand can save you nearly 11 cents per litre before you've done anything else.

Last Week's Cheapest Fill-Up Day in QLD

Last Sunday (26 April) was the cheapest day to fill up, with metro U91 sitting at 182.9 c/L. The week had a clean, falling shape with no spike to dodge, so drivers who filled up on Saturday or Sunday got the best deal.

QLD Metro U91 Petrol Price Forecast

The Petrol Smart model sees metro U91 continuing to fall over the next few days. The forecast sits at 179.4 c/L on Monday (78% confidence), 175.5 c/L on Tuesday (71% confidence), and 170.3 c/L by Wednesday (65% confidence). That's well below the current metro average of 189.9 c/L and, if it holds, would bring prices close to the 30-day metro low of 171.5 c/L. Confidence does ease as you go further out, so don't hold off too long if your tank is nearly empty.

How to Save on Fuel in QLD Right Now

QLD metro U91 at 189.9 c/L sits just 0.6c above the national metro average of 189.3 c/L, so Queensland isn't being hit hard relative to the rest of the country right now. The forecast suggests more falls are coming. If you can wait a few days, you may fill up for closer to 170 c/L metro. If you can't wait, use a price comparison tool to find a Pearl Energy or U-Go station and you'll still be getting close to the weekly low. Rural drivers are paying 13.4c more per litre than metro for U91, which adds up fast on a big tank.
