The average price for regular unleaded is currently 164 cents per litre in Sydney, 151.4 cents in Melbourne, 168.9 cents in Brisbane, 154.7 cents in Perth, 149.4 cents in Canberra, 149.1 cents in Darwin and 155.3 cents in Hobart.

The NRMA says Sydney families on average spend about 20 per cent of their weekly budget on transport costs and the high prices come when families can least afford them.
