What are the fuel prices in Australia?
The price of petrol and diesel has skyrocketed in recent weeks, with retailers blaming record oil prices and compromised supply chains. While it's unclear if these reasons tell the full story, the bottom line is consumers are feeling the pinch at the bowser – and there are no signs so far of reprieve.
A portion of what motorists pay at the pump goes to the government in the form of two taxes: fuel excise, and goods and services tax (GST). Fuel excise goes to the federal government and is paid at a flat rate. For petrol and diesel that rate is usually 44.2 cents per litre, but from 30 March – 28 September 2022 it will be down to 22.1, half the usual rate.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg announced these tax cuts as part of the 2022-23 budget, to provide temporary relief for motorists, as lighthouse.mq.edu.au reported.
Once the excise cuts lift in September these rates should return to about 30-40 per cent of total prices. These percentages will inevitably vary, though, as fuel prices fluctuate – particularly petrol.GST is an additional 10 per cent applied after everything else is added up. Combined, these taxes make up a portion of overall fuel price. Generally, the higher the price of fuel, the lower percentage of that price is taxes. A petrol or diesel price of $1.40 per litre would be 24.9 per cent tax, whereas a price of $2.10 would be only 19.6 per cent tax.

Australia consumes about 1 million barrels of petrol and diesel a day – equivalent to about 160 million litres. This fuel reaches Australian petrol pumps by way of a complex international supply chain.
Fifty per cent of what motorists pay at the pump is what’s known as the international price – that is, the price at which Australian wholesalers buy the fuel on the international market.
Singapore, South Korea, Japan and Malaysia are Australia’s biggest petrol providers. Most of our diesel comes from Singapore and South Korea. However, supply from Singapore has fallen significantly. Their diesel is heading to California in 2022.

| War - What is it good for? Australia’s enormous reliance on fuel imports leaves it highly vulnerable to volatile international fuel markets. The first four months of 2022 have demonstrated this, with Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine causing a surge in fuel prices. Russia produces 11 per cent of the world’s oil, making it the third biggest producer after the US and Saudi Arabia. The US and Canada have sanctioned all oil, coal and gas from Russia. But some Russian diesel still flows through the US ports. Because the global oil market is so interconnected this strain on supply has hiked up the prices for crude oil everywhere, even in the Asia Pacific. This in turn has hiked up the costs of petrol and diesel. This would significantly worsen if the European Union also sanctioned Russian oil, but don’t hold your breath. Europe imports more than half of Russia’s crude oil, but that co-dependency means dire consequences for the EU if they turn off the tap. Australian refineries have also promised to stop buying Russian crude oil. However, this will have minimal effect on domestic retail prices. What has and will continue to have an effect is the behaviour of oil traders. What traders will often do is buy speculatively – that is, taking a punt at what the oil prices are likely to be in a few months’ time. They’ve been buying up crude oil and fuel at elevated prices in the hope that prolonged sanctions will allow them to sell at a profit in coming months. Meanwhile others are shorting the oil, or betting on the oil price going down. This has elevated the international price of crude oil, petrol and diesel, which in turn has driven up retail prices. |

| Six tips to drive more efficiently You can drive the same distance, in the same car, without slowing down, but using less fuel – better for your wallet, better for the environment. The key is to drive smoothly. Here are the seven tips you need to know. 1. Accelerators are money pumps – accelerate gradually Speed up smoothly. The harder you press on the accelerator, the more fuel will flow – but you can reach the same speed using much less power. As a rough rule, stay under 3,000 revs. Plus, if you accelerate too quickly, chances are you'll then have to brake hard, which isn't exactly efficient. 2. Change up a gear sooner Always drive in the highest gear possible without labouring the engine. So change up much earlier than feels natural – it'll take some pace out of your acceleration, but as that's our first tip it isn't a bad thing. If you have a fuel efficiency display, you'll be surprised how immediate an impact this has. 3. Think about road position All the other tips require you to be alert and aware of your road position. This helps you plan ahead and move gradually. It also means that more efficient driving is also safer driving. 4. The brake is a money burner Where safe, allow yourself to slow naturally rather than hitting the brakes. When you press the brake you are essentially converting the energy you've paid to put into the car into heat. Instead, where you can, make the most of the car's momentum – good road positioning is crucial for this. Over the course of a journey if you brake frequently, you'll end up having to accelerate more too, which ultimately means using more fuel. 5. Listen to the noise of your engine If you hear sharp acceleration and screeching brakes you know you're doing it wrong. Imagine driving from traffic light to traffic light doing that. The person behind who accelerates and decelerates more slowly will still be behind you at the next light – they'll just have spent far less getting there. 6. Keep moving if you can The most expensive metre you drive is always the first one. It takes huge energy to get a car going. So if you can safely roll gradually up to a traffic light as it changes from red to green, without stopping, it is more efficient than stopping and restarting. |
