Australians are facing rising fuel costs during the Easter holiday season, with tensions in the Middle East causing significant disruptions in global oil markets. This has led to increased prices at the petrol pump, despite efforts by the federal government to ease the burden.
The government made a decision to reduce the fuel excise, which has resulted in a 26.3 cents per litre reduction in fuel prices. However, this saving has now increased to up to 32 cents due to a recent agreement on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) between the states.
To help motorists keep track of fuel prices, a new fuel price calculator has been developed. This tool updates daily with the latest available data and covers major metropolitan areas across Australia. It can be adjusted to show the prices of different fuel types, including E10, Unleaded 91, and Diesel. The calculator also provides an estimated cost for various vehicle types and tank sizes, offering a daily snapshot of what it might cost to fill up on your next trip to the service station.
It is important to note that this calculator is not intended to provide exact figures. Instead, it is based on citywide averages and does not track individual service stations in your area. For more accurate information and details on other fuel types such as P95 and P98, it is recommended to consult the sources provided.
An earlier version of the calculator had some issues with displaying data correctly. These problems have since been resolved to ensure that users receive accurate and up-to-date information.
