Should have prefaced of Capital cities, of course you expect regional areas to be more expensive.... that is obvious. Presumably the numerous articles making that claim are talking about Bris Vegas and the Goldie.

So RACQ have it wrong now also?

The RACQ believes there are two major factors – the length of the fuel price cycle and a comparative lack of independent retailers in the fuel market, meaning less competition.

RACQ chief executive David Carter says south-east Queensland has a 38-day fuel price cycle — longer than anywhere else in Australia.

"South-east Queensland motorists in particular are paying the highest prices for fuel in Australia of any capital city," he says.
