This week's fill-up recommendation
Updated daily. Based on price cycle position and market signals.
Three signals. One clear recommendation.
Global Oil Markets
We track Singapore MOGAS spot prices, the benchmark that determines Australian wholesale fuel costs, updated daily. When it moves, local retail prices follow within approximately two weeks.
The Australian Dollar
A softer AUD means more expensive imported fuel. We factor in the AUD/USD exchange rate so currency fluctuations don't catch you off guard.
Local Price Cycles
We layer in city-specific cycle data: weekly in Sydney and Melbourne, fortnightly in Brisbane. The timing of your recommendation is always calibrated to your market.
The combination gives you something standard price apps can't offer: advance notice of price movements, not just a record of them.

Why global oil prices predict what you pay at the pump
Australian petrol prices don't move at random. They're largely determined by what Singapore refiners charge for refined fuel — a benchmark known as MOGAS 95. When that price rises, Australian wholesale costs follow within approximately two weeks. Add the AUD/USD exchange rate, and you can model retail price direction with meaningful accuracy.
Standard price apps don't use this data. They can identify that prices typically drop on a particular day in your city. What they can't tell you is whether this week will be cheaper or significantly more expensive than the last.
That's what PetrolCast is built to do.
