Diesel: 200.3 c/L · National U91 average: 169.4 c/L
AIP weekly report · week ending 12 July 2026Canberra has historically shown weak cycling compared with the larger capitals, so prices tend to move less sharply from day to day. Alongside that flatter pattern, the city has tended to sit at the higher end for pump prices.
The ACT has fuel price monitoring in place, so you can check reported station prices across the territory rather than rely on the board of whichever servo you happen to pass. With less of a cycle to time, comparing stations is the main way to save.
