The price cycle

No cycle

Prices in Canberra don't rise and fall in a regular cycle. They mostly follow the cost of fuel itself. So when you fill up matters less here.

What good timing is worth

195c

The average price of a litre of unleaded in Canberra over the year. With no cycle to time, the bigger saving is where you buy.

Unleaded every day for a year

There's no regular pattern of jumps and slides here, so there's no low point to wait for.
