Weekly Australian Fuel Supply Report — Week 11, 2026
Executive summary
National supply pressure remains in the MODERATE band this week, with a slight upward trend driven by rising metro retail velocity and moderate congestion at Port Botany and Fremantle.
Scheduled refined product imports continue to arrive on Australia's east and west coasts, with five publicly listed arrivals across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Fremantle over the next five days.
Fuel security indicators show petrol days of cover near the policy reference minimum, reinforcing why local retail prices can move quickly when import timing or port queues shift.
Market commentary
For Melbourne drivers, the combination of stable wholesale supply signals and a rising retail median suggests the familiar weekly price cycle may still dominate short-term pump movements. Monitoring Port of Melbourne arrivals alongside suburb-level prices remains the most practical way to time a fill-up this week.
