QLD Fuel Prices – Week of 29 June 2026

Queensland's metro U91 climbed steadily through the week, finishing at 161.2 c/L — up 2.4c from last week. If you filled up early, you got the best deal. If you waited, you paid for it.

QLD Fuel Prices This Week: Metro vs Rural Snapshot

Rural drivers are carrying a 15.1c/L penalty on U91 compared to their metro counterparts. On a 60-litre tank, that's roughly $9 more every single fill. It adds up fast if you're driving long distances between regional towns.

How Queensland Petrol Prices Moved Day by Day

The daily data tells a clear story. Metro U91 opened the week at 155.2 c/L on Monday the 29th, then barely moved through Tuesday before jumping sharply on Wednesday to 159.1 c/L. From there it kept climbing, reaching 166.9 c/L by Saturday. That's a 11.7c rise in just six days — one of the steeper intra-week runs we've seen recently.

Rural prices followed the same upward trajectory, peaking at 180.1 c/L by Saturday. Anyone who held off filling up hoping for a dip didn't get one.

Diesel also rose in metro areas, up 2.5c to 182.5 c/L, maintaining a premium of 21.3c over U91. That's a notably wide gap, and for tradies or small business owners running diesel vehicles, it's a meaningful extra cost week after week.

Cheapest and Priciest QLD Metro Stations — and What the Brand Gap Means

Shopping around genuinely matters in Queensland right now. The cheapest metro station this week was Liberty Monkland at 144.7 c/L, while the most expensive was United Browns Slipway at 215 c/L. That's a jaw-dropping 70.3c spread between the two — on a 60-litre tank, the difference is over $42.

Brand averages back this up. Looking at metro U91, Metro Fuel averaged 155.6c and Pearl Energy 155.9c, while BP averaged 164.7c and Shell 163.5c. That's roughly an 8-9c gap between the cheapest and priciest major brands. Over a year of weekly fills, a driver sticking with cheaper brands could save hundreds of dollars.

QLD Petrol Supply Conditions Improving

Fuel availability across Queensland improved this week. The total number of station-fuels flagged out-of-stock dropped from 141 to 120. The biggest improvement was in LPG, down from 27 to 18 out-of-stock stations. P95 still has 25 stations dry, so if you run premium, it's worth checking before you make a special trip.

QLD Metro U91 Price Forecast: What's Coming

Last Monday (29 June) was the cheapest day to fill up, with metro U91 at just 155.2 c/L. That opportunity has passed.

Looking ahead, the metro U91 forecast points to continued rises. Prices are expected to reach 167.1 c/L on Monday 6 July, 167.5 c/L on Tuesday, and 167.9 c/L on Wednesday — all meaningfully above the current weekly average of 161.2 c/L. Confidence sits between 55% and 66%, so treat these as directional guides rather than certainties.

For context, QLD's metro U91 average of 161.2 c/L is tracking 0.4c below the national metro average of 161.6 c/L this week.

How to Save on Fuel in QLD Right Now

The current metro price of 161.2 c/L sits well below the 30-day high of 226 c/L, which is genuinely encouraging. You're not paying peak prices. But with the forecast pointing upward through early next week, filling up sooner rather than later is the smarter move.

Stick to independent and discount brands where you can — the data shows you can save close to 9c per litre versus the major names just by being a bit choosy about where you stop.
