Australia's Fuel Price Oracle · Crisis Edition
Today's low is the confirmed cheapest capital city station price, sourced from Petrolmate, NRMA, and WA FuelWatch. Today's high is the most expensive price recorded across the entire state — currently elevated due to the Strait of Hormuz crisis and regional supply shortages.
The 7-day forecast projects the state average forward using the live Brent crude oil price and AUD/USD exchange rate, updated every hour. As Brent moves, the average shifts — and the low/high band moves with it, keeping the same spread as today.
The low band (green) always sits —¢ below the average — the real capital city discount observed today. The high band (red) sits —¢ above — the real state-wide premium observed today.
Confidence scores are reduced across all states during the current crisis — Strait of Hormuz disruption creates unprecedented volatility. Perth retains the highest score (FuelWatch cycle), while Darwin/Hobart are lowest. All forecasts carry higher uncertainty than normal until Hormuz reopens.
