Petrol prices have rise by almost 27% over the last four years<\/figcaption><\/figure>January 25, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

The average price of unleaded petrol in Kingaroy has risen by more than 31 cents per litre in just four years.<\/p>\n

The RACQ’s 2012 Annual Fuel Price Report showed the average ULP price in Kingaroy in 2012 was 148.4cpl, compared with 142.3cpl in 2011, 128.7cpl in 2010 and 117.1cpl in 2009.<\/p>\n

RACQ Executive General Manager Advocacy Paul Turner said the cheapest ULP in Queensland was sold on the Sunshine Coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cMotorists throughout Queensland were hit with higher ULP prices, with the average state-wide price up 5.2cpl on 2011, at 150.1cpl,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Only three regional locations \u2013 the Sunshine Coast (143.9cpl), Mackay (144.5cpl) and the Gold Coast (145cpl) \u2013 offered cheaper ULP prices than Brisbane, where ULP averaged 145.4cpl. <\/p>\n

Diesel prices were also up across the state in 2012, with an average of 153.2cpl making it 3.5cpl higher than the 2011 figure. <\/p>\n

Kingaroy motorists paid an average of 151.7cpl for diesel last year, 3.4cpl higher than the previous year and up 33.2cpl from the 2009 average. <\/p>\n

In Brisbane, diesel prices were up 4.1cpl on the 2011 average, with Townsville, Warwick, the Whitsundays, Ipswich and Gympie the only regional locations to offer cheaper diesel. <\/p>\n

Townsville was the cheapest place in Queensland to buy diesel in 2012, with an average of 148.1cpl. <\/p>\n

\u201cWith the number of motorists driving diesel-powered vehicles on the rise, it\u2019s disappointing to see diesel prices so high,\u201d Mr Turner said. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s now more important than ever that motorists interested in purchasing a diesel-powered vehicle do their maths to ensure they will actually be able to save on their fuel costs in the long run.\u201d <\/p>\n

The average cost of LPG in Kingaroy in 2012 was was 81.8cpl although it climbed as high as 88.9cpl in December.<\/p>\n

Mr Turner said fuel prices in 2012 would have been even higher if the Australian dollar had not been so strong, serving as a buffer. <\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment there is no immediate threat of higher oil prices, so the retail price of fuel is expected to soften.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the oil price is very volatile and affected by political instability. Any conflict overseas could result in a dramatic increase in the price of oil, which would push our prices up locally.\u201d<\/p>\n

The RACQ\u2019s annual survey of fuel prices is based on average monthly price data provided by independent fuel price monitor MotorMouth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
