Gasoline Prices in Australia increased to 1.20 USD/Liter in November from 1.18 USD/Liter in October of 2025. This dataset provides the latest reported value for - Australia Gasoline Prices - plus previous releases, historical high and low, short-term forecast and long-term prediction, economic calendar, survey consensus and news.

In 2024, the gasoline price index in Australia reached *****, an increase from the previous year. The petrol price index compares average petrol prices to average salaries in a given year. The higher the index, the more petrol can be purchased by the average salary in a country.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the average retail petrol price in Melbourne, Australia, was ***** cents per liter. The average petrol price increased from the beginning of the measured period, the third quarter of 2023, largely driven by international benchmark prices for imported petrol. But it dropped again in September 2024.

This dataset provides values for GASOLINE PRICES reported in several countries. The data includes current values, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency.

This data was compiled using the NSW Government Data FuelCheck site.

The NSW Government provides an API for live fuel prices in the state, but it does not allow any query for historical data using this API, hence the need for this dataset. All the historical data files found at the link above have been cleaned and merged together to form this one single file, with data from 2016 to 2025. The data quality of these files was relatively poor and so all 109 individual files (some CSV, some XLSX, many with varying structures) were converted to a CSV and then merged together.

Two extra columns have been added which the government does not provide, and that is the latitude and longitude of each address. This may be useful if you are looking to plot the location of each petrol station on a map to identify trends comparing price to geographic location. The latitude and longitude was sourced using the Google Geocoding API. A master file containing all the unique addresses and the latitude/longitude for each address has been included in the dataset as master_locations_google.csv.

There has not been any data cleaning performed on this dataset outside of basic error correction such as stripping leading spaces from addresses. This data is intentionally provided as-is, with no modifications from what the government provides, and I will leave it up to the user to clean and determine what they think an outlier is, as everyone will have a different interpretation.

This data is provided both in CSV and parquet format.

Comprising copies of submissions made to the Royal Commission on Petroleum which was undertaken by the Commonwealth Government and heard before Justice Collins, Judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
Transcripts of the proceedings from 12 June-16 October 1974 are also included.

These copies were apparently held by Premier's Department.

The following descriptive details and references duplicate entry CA2031 National Archives of Australia at www.naa.gov.au.

The Royal Commission on Petroleum was established by Letters Patent issued on 12 September 1973 (Australian Government Gazette, No 129, 20 September 1973). The Honourable Wilfred Herbert Collins, Judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, was appointed Commissioner to inquire and report on the following matters, so far as they are relevant to laws that have been, or could be, made by Parliament, namely: all aspects of the production by refining, and the marketing and pricing, in Australia of all types of petroleum, diesel and other fuels for internal combustion and jet engines, derived from any form of liquid or gaseous hydro carbons, whether such hydro carbons are produced in Australia or elsewhere, and all types of residual furnace and heating fuels and other by-products likewise derived.

The Commission started collecting evidence in November 1973 after the appointment of Mr J F Kane as Secretary to the Commission on 12 November 1973. Because of the breadth and complexity of the inquiry, certain specific issues and problem areas were identified at the outset in the Letters Patent:

a) the need, in the public interest, for any changes in the number, location, capacity, technology, and type of refineries in Australia of any such form of liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons, and whether the allocations of the output of such fuels should be rationalized by joint operating or sharing of such refineries;

b) the need for additional refinery capacity to be located within the Sydney metropolitan area to serve the needs of that area;

(c) whether the prices of such fuels and other by-products are excessive and the extent to which the marketing management and trading practices, proliferation of service stations and retail outlets, and the granting of secret or other discounts, and the maintenance of a multi-tiered price structure by refineries and wholesales of such fuels, are contributed thereto;

d) whether, and if so to what extent, the policies and objectives of any of the refineries or wholesalers of such fuels have contributed to price-cutting wars in any one retail sector to the detriment of other sectors; and to what extent fuel pricing by companies operating in Australia which are subsidiaries of foreign operations has been influenced or determined by the decisions of their overseas principles in such matters as inflating original prices paid to overseas crude oil producers and shipping freight thereon thus creating an artificially high landed price to the detriment of Australian consumers

The Commission collected a large body of evidence from oil companies;service station and automobile associations; government departments; gas and fuel corporations; shire councils; universities; laboratories, legal firms and private individuals. Hearings commenced in Sydney on 16 April 1975. In order to collate the highly technical and often politically sensitive evidence, the Commission employed an international oil industry firm of consultants, A D Little International Incorporated, who provided the necessary expertise in all areas of the petroleum industry.

A total of six reports were prepared by the Commission, the areas covered in the reports reflecting the wide terms of reference of the inquiry. The Royal Commission took the view that the matter of shortages fell within its terms of reference. This matter was examined in the firstreport, "Shortages of Petroleum Products", presented in October 1974. (1)

The second report, December 1974, set out the general factual background against which two proposals for new refineries in New South Wales were considered. (2) Although the Commission was originally concerned with only the Sydney metropolitan area, it was convenient to examine together the two proposals of BHP/Sleigh and Ampol/Total. Ampol/Total proposed an additional refinery in the Sydney metropolitan area at Kurnell Peninsular or Lucas Heights, theBHP/Sleigh submission was for a hydro-skimming refinery at Newcastle.

The third report, September 1975, titled "On the circumstances of the transfer of allocated indigenous crude oil by Allied Petrochemicals Pty. Limited to ACTU-Solo Enterprises Pty. Limited", was chiefly concerned with the terms upon which the crude oil was sold by Allied Petrochemicals to ACTU-Solo. (3) This report arose out of the evidence gathered by the Commission for its fourth report on the marketing and pricing of petroleum products in Australia.

The fourth report, April 1976, was a comprehensive survey of the marketing and pricing of the major petroleum product - motor spirit. (4)

"National Refining Policy" was the topic of the fifth report, October 1976. (5) Much of the evidence collected for the second report was updated and extended, the specific topic was the rationalisation of refining output by joint operations. The Commission examined submissions for a small refinery at Alice Springs based on Mereenie crude oil, and a North West Shelf Refinery utilising natural gas for the de-sulphurisation and refining of foreign crude oil.

The sixth and final report, "The use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas" dealt with the role of liquefied petroleum gas in the Australian energy economy. It was presented on 1 November 1976. (6)
