Petrol prices in Queensland.
Regional Queensland petrol prices are reported in real time under the Queensland Government’s fuel price reporting scheme, exactly as Brisbane’s are – the scheme covers the whole state. This page tracks the ABS Rest of Qld region: every reporting station outside Greater Brisbane – the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Cairns included.
Is petrol cheaper in Brisbane or regional Queensland?
As at day’s end on 31 August 2026, regional Queensland’s median Unleaded 91 price of 206.2 c/L sits 5.5 c/L above Greater Brisbane’s 200.7 c/L. The gap isn’t fixed: Brisbane runs a price cycle and regional Queensland doesn’t, so the difference moves week to week.
| Area | Median U91 (c/L) | Cheapest | Most expensive | Stations |

Day’s-end figures from official FuelPricesQLD data – every reporting station inside the ABS boundaries (Greater Brisbane; Rest of Qld), median not mean, one station one vote. How these figures are calculated. The live station board for the capital is on the Brisbane page; the app carries every station in Queensland live.
Are petrol prices in regional Queensland going up or down?
Steady this week – regional Queensland’s Unleaded 91 median has moved less than 2 c/L over the past seven days and sits at 206.2 c/L. Regional Queensland doesn’t move in one region-wide price cycle the way a capital does – prices differ town to town, and the gap between stations is where the saving is.
How pricing works in regional Queensland
Queensland’s scheme covers the whole state and exists to feed apps like FuelNow – the state ships no consumer app of its own. Every price from Coolangatta to Cairns is station-reported in real time, never crowd-sourced.
On the ABS boundary, Greater Brisbane is smaller than the south-east corner: the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast sit outside it and count as regional here, alongside Toowoomba, Townsville and Cairns. Those coastal cities run their own price cycles, while prices further out move with freight and local competition.
