Queenslanders can expect to see petrol prices continue to rise across the South East, following last year’s records for the highest average retail prices of regular unleaded petrol.
RACQ’s Annual Fuel Price Report for 2021 reported an average price of 150 cents per litre, increasing on 2020’s average by almost 30 cents.
The report attributes the price increase to the sudden influx of demand for oil products worldwide, as economies reduce COVID restrictions and people begin to travel more.
