Petrol Stations
Fuel prices in Australia do fluctuate depending up location, especially in the country. You will notice that prices change during the week and around popular holiday time such as Christmas and the Easter break.
Queensland fuel tends to be around $0.10 cheaper per litre due to local state tax concessions. Expect to pay more for fuel in remote
locations. If you plan to travel in remote areas it is advisable to keep you fuel tanks topped up as frequently as is possible (the same principle applies to water supplies as well especially in remote areas).
