WARWICK has reclaimed its crown as having the cheapest unleaded fuel prices in the state.
For the fourth time this year, RACQ’s monthly price report has shown Warwick’s average for unleaded petrol (ULP) was lower than anywhere else in Queensland.
RACQ spokesperson Renee Smith said the average price for ULP in the Rose City during June was 150.3 cents per litre (cpl), 4.5cpl less than Brisbane.
“After benefiting from the cheapest ULP in Queensland earlier this year, Warwick motorists were again filling up at the lowest prices,” Ms Smith said.
Those in nearby Toowoomba were also benefiting from some of the best-priced fuel on offer.
“Toowoomba’s average of 152.3cpl was the third cheapest in the state, behind the Sunshine Coast on 151.3cpl,” she said.
Ms Smith said Warwick’s independent fuel stations were behind the pleasant trend, unlike Brisbane which was littered with bigger supermarket chains.
“We would encourage motorists to support those servos that are keeping the prices down,” Ms Smith said.
“Try not to wait until you’re on empty and in a dire situation where you are forced to pull into the nearest service station.
“Give yourself time so you can shop around.”
