Fuel prices in major cities follow predictable cycles. Prices gradually increase over several days or weeks, then drop sharply before starting again.

•Weekly cycle cities: Many major cities have 5-7 day cycles. Fill up mid-to-late week for best prices.
•Extended cycle cities: Some cities run longer cycles of 2-6 weeks. Monitor charts to time purchases.
•Regional areas: More stable prices but often higher due to transport costs.

1.Use FuelRadar: Track prices in real-time and get notified when prices drop in your area.
2.Fill up at cycle lows: Wait for the sharp price drop rather than filling when prices are high.
3.Consider E10: If your vehicle is compatible, E10 can save 3-5 cents per litre.
4.Shop around: Prices can vary by 20+ cents per litre between stations in the same suburb.
5.Use fuel vouchers: Supermarket fuel discounts can save 4-8 cents per litre.
