QLD Fuel Prices – Week of 25 May 2026

Diesel led the charge downward this week, shedding 5c in metro Queensland to land at 222.2 c/L.

QLD Fuel Prices Snapshot: 25 May to 1 June 2026

Diesel's Big Drop and What's Moving QLD Petrol Prices

Diesel was the standout mover this week. Metro diesel opened Monday at 225.7 c/L and ground lower every day, finishing Sunday at 219c. That's a 6.7c slide across the week alone. Rural diesel followed the same path, dropping from 236c on Monday to 230.8c by Sunday, which means country Queensland drivers are still paying 11.1c more per litre than their city counterparts, a gap that adds up fast over a full tank.

U91 was also a steady faller. Metro prices eased from 186.1c on Monday down to 181.5c on Sunday, a smooth, uninterrupted decline with no bumps along the way. If you filled up last week, you were rewarded for waiting.

How QLD Petrol Prices Compare Across Stations and Brands

The spread between the cheapest and priciest metro station is genuinely eye-opening this week. Metro Fuel Metro Petroleum Hillcrest was the cheapest metro station at 165.9 c/L, while United Browns Slipway sat at the very top at 239 c/L. That's a 73.1c gap on the same fuel in the same city. Shopping around isn't just a tip, it's worth real money.

Brand averages reinforce the point. Among the 17 brands with enough stations to compare, Atlas Fuel averaged 172.3c and Pearl Energy averaged 173.4c, while Shell averaged 187.5c and 7-Eleven averaged 186c. The gap between the cheapest and priciest brands is more than 15c per litre. If you're defaulting to a convenient name without checking prices first, you're likely leaving money on the table.

Where QLD Sits Against the Rest of Australia

Queensland's metro U91 average of 183.8 c/L is 2.9c above the national metro average of 180.9 c/L this week. South Australia is the cheapest state at 173.3 c/L, though Victoria comes in above Queensland at 184.6 c/L.

Last Week's Cheapest Day to Fill Up in Queensland

Last Sunday, 31 May, was the cheapest day to fill up, with metro U91 hitting 181.5 c/L. That steady daily decline rewarded drivers who held off until the end of the week.

QLD Metro Petrol Price Forecast: Early June

The metro U91 outlook for early June looks encouraging. Prices are tipped to ease from the current 183.8 c/L to 180.6 c/L on Monday (78% confidence), 180.1 c/L on Tuesday (71% confidence), and 179.5 c/L on Wednesday (65% confidence). These forecasts apply to metro QLD only, and confidence naturally softens the further out you look, but the direction is clearly downward.

How to Save on Fuel in QLD This Week

Current metro U91 at 183.8 c/L sits well below the 30-day high of 252c and is tracking toward the lower end of the recent range, with the 30-day low at 163.5c. Conditions are improving. If you can hold off a day or two, the forecast suggests further savings are on the way.

On the supply side, E10 availability has tightened slightly, with 21 stations currently out of stock, up from 18 last week. It's not a crisis, but if your regular station runs E10, it's worth having a backup option in mind.

The single biggest lever you have right now is simply knowing which stations near you are cheapest. That 73.1c gap between the metro high and low isn't unusual. Petrol Smart shows you live prices on a map so you're never guessing.
