Rural drivers also saw relief, though the cuts were softer. U91 rural fell 5.1c to 185.8 c/L, meaning country motorists are still paying 11.6c more per litre than their city counterparts. Fill up a 60L tank in a regional town versus Brisbane and you're looking at nearly $7 extra, every single time.

Biggest Movers and QLD Fuel Price Trends This Week

Diesel was the standout mover, down 11.2c in metro and 9.8c in rural areas. That's a meaningful saving for tradies, fleet operators, and anyone hauling a caravan north for the school holidays.

Metro U91 fell steadily all week, from 179.6c on Monday down to 170.7c by Sunday. There were no mid-week spikes or reversals, just a clean, consistent slide. Rural U91 followed the same trajectory, easing from 188.1c to 184.1c across the seven days.

P95 dropped 10c metro to 189.7 c/L, while E10 came in as the cheapest option at 171.6 c/L metro, a solid 2.6c less than U91. If your car is compatible with ethanol blends, that gap adds up over time.

P98 premium petrol averaged 198.5 c/L metro, down 9.8c on the week.

QLD Metro Station Price Range and Brand Averages

The gap between the cheapest and priciest metro stations this week is eye-opening. The lowest recorded metro price was 156.9 c/L for U91, while the dearest station was charging 239 c/L, a spread of over 82c per litre. That's not a rounding difference, that's the difference between a cheap tank and an expensive one.

Among the 17 brands with enough stations to compare, Atlas Fuel averaged 164.6c across its 4 metro stations, with Pearl Energy close behind at 167.6c across 14 stations. Shell averaged 180.8c across its 11 metro stations, a gap of more than 16c compared to the cheapest brands. A few minutes on a comparison app before you fill up can genuinely save you a few dollars every week.

Cheapest Day to Fill Up Last Week in QLD

Last Sunday (8 June) was the cheapest day to fill up, with metro U91 touching 170.7 c/L. Prices fell consistently through the week, so those who waited were rewarded.

Supply Conditions Across QLD

One thing to flag this week: out-of-stock reports climbed from 107 to 125 station-fuels statewide. LPG saw the biggest jump, up from 20 to 25 stations dry, while Diesel supply gaps rose from 15 to 19 stations. It's not a crisis, but if you run on LPG or diesel, it's worth checking availability near you before you make a dedicated trip to a station.

QLD Metro Petrol Price Forecast: Next 3 Days

The downward trend looks set to continue. Metro U91 is currently at 174.2 c/L, and the forecast points lower across the next three days: 169.1 c/L on Monday (78% confidence), 168.1 c/L on Tuesday (71% confidence), and 167.1 c/L on Wednesday (65% confidence). If those forecasts hold, metro drivers could be paying close to 7c less by mid-week than they did at the start of this week.

Compared to the national metro U91 average of 172 c/L, QLD is sitting 2.2c above the pack, though prices here are trending in the right direction.
