Fuel prices in the South East are set to be lower this week

According to the Australian Institute of Petroleum, average pump prices for unleaded have remained consistent for the week ending July 3 and clocked in at 211.1 cents per litre, down marginally from 211.9 cents per litre the week prior.

This week's prices are set to be slightly lower again, and RACQ's fuel expert Dr Ian Jeffreys recommends local motorists take advantage of the price cycle and fill up if they spot a bargain.

"As of Monday morning, the south east Queensland metropolitan markets are in the final days of the discounting phase of the price cycle and on the cusp of the cheap phase," Dr Jeffreys said.

"With cheaper unleaded petrol becoming more widely available our advice to motorists in Jimboomba is to fill up now if you spot fuel for 205 cents per litre or less.

"So make sure you're using apps like RACQ's Fair Fuel Finder to track down the best deal you can."

As of July 4, fuel prices in Jimboomba are slightly higher than the 205 cents per litre mark, although many outlets including the Woolworths Ampol on Johanna Street is offering unleaded for 206.7 per litre.

Prices for unleaded in Beaudesert were higher, with all retailers charging 212.9 cents per litre for unleaded.

High diesel prices show no signs of abating, and the cheapest diesel in the Jimboomba area can be found at the Ampol and BP in North Maclean, which were reporting prices of 234.9 cents per litre.

Motorists in Beaudesert were being charged 233.9 cents per litre of diesel at most outlets in town.
