Brisbane drivers urged to fill up over the coming week
The NRMA is urging local drivers to fill up over the next few days after the average price for regular unleaded fell 31.3 cents per litre after hitting a high point of the cycle on 1 November at 202.8 cents per litre. Filling up at the bottom of the cycle instead of the top equates to a $17.20 saving on a tank of fuel.
The NRMA launched its nationwide program through the My NRMA rewards app last month to give families a multi-layered approach to reducing their cost of living pressures and saving hundreds of dollars a year the bowser.
NRMA spokesperson Peter Khoury said the shorter-than-usual cycle served as a timely reminder of the importance of accessing real-time fuel data for those in Brisbane to know not just when prices are low, but where to fill up.
“Price cycle patterns in Brisbane have become shorter over the last three to four months but without real-time data it is almost impossible for drivers to predict when to fill up,” Mr Khoury said.
“Today we have sent alerts out across Brisbane to tell people to fill up today – it’s the bottom of the cycle and with a 31 cent gap between the top and the bottom it’s crucial we help local families manipulate these price cycles to their benefit, especially heading into Christmas.”
Recent data released by the NRMA in October revealed Brisbane drivers who take advantage of filling up while prices are low could save over $900 a year on fuel.
Real-time fuel alerts are available to all NRMA members through the My NRMA rewards app. For more information or to join visit mynrma.com.au or call 13 11 22.
