The cheapest time to fill up with petrol this Easter
As Aussies around the country prepare to embark on their Easter Holiday plans, an NRMA expert has suggested the cheapest times for holidaymakers to fill up their vehicles.
Speaking on Nine News, Peter Khoury explained how petrol prices vary from city to city so dramatically and just how important it is to choose the right time.
From city to city the prices are currently as follows:
- Brisbane $122.2 (and going down)
- Sydney $134.2 (and going up)
- Melbourne $119.3 (and going down)
- Adelaide $116.8 (and going up)
- Perth $130.9 (and going down)
Khoury also offered a little commentary on when to get the best prices:
Khoury said, “Prices in Brisbane have been falling for a week now and they should continue to fall so if you are in Brisbane for example right now hold off if you can.
“The beauty about Sydney is we have real time data, so you can find the actual price of every service station right across the state which means that as a motorist go to the government fuel check website or the NRMA app, find the cheapest petrol in your local area and drive past those dollar forty servos.
“Melbourne prices have been falling, it should continue to fall at least a half a dozen cents. It’s been falling now for some time.
“Now’s a good time to fill up in Adelaide because we are expecting prices to go back up but there are some real bargains.
“But we know in Perth that Monday’s the cheapest day, so if you can hold off until then, fill up.”
