RACQ has urged motorists to take advantage of low fuel prices while they still could, with retailers signalling an end to the record long price cycle in south-east Queensland.
RACQ’s Joe Fitzgerald said the record long price cycle, now at 85 days, looked set to end with approximately 20 percent of retailers now selling unleaded for 119 cents per litre or more.
“Motorists should look to fill up now, with retailers raising their prices by as much as 25 cents per litre,” he said.
“The good news is that there’s still fuel available for around the dollar mark if you act quickly.”
Mr Fitzgerald said the unpredictability of the price cycle meant that it was impossible to predict whether the five-year lows experienced in recent months would return.
“Motorists have been able to take advantage of cheap fuel in recent weeks but
there’s a chance we won’t see them this low again for some time.”
