Motorists in Sydney can expect lower fuel prices during the holiday season, in contrast to Melbourne and Brisbane, where prices are peaking. The NRMA has examined the current fluctuations in petrol costs and reported that Sydney’s prices, while declining, are doing so slowly—at a mere two-thirds of a cent per day. NRMA spokesperson Peter Khoury expressed concern over this sluggish decrease, urging oil companies to take action. Meanwhile, families in Brisbane and Melbourne may face higher prices just as they embark on their holiday trips, compounding the already significant cost-of-living pressures. With many families hoping for a break during the festive season, the geographical location will heavily influence petrol expenses. Overall, the situation presents a mixed bag for holiday travellers in Australian cities.
