Hobart's unleaded average was 244.0 c/L for the week to 4 October 2026, ±0.0 on the previous week; diesel came in at 287.7.
Put next to the country as a whole (237.3 c/L), Hobart is 6.7 cents dearer; call it $4.02 a tank.
Tasmania reports through its own version of FuelCheck, built on the NSW platform. Fuel reaches the island by ship and Hobart has a terminal gate price of its own, which tends to sit a few cents above the big mainland terminals.
Hobart does not run the sharp restoration cycle of the big mainland capitals; prices drift with the terminal, which makes the weekly average a fair guide.
Wholesale against the bowser in Hobart
Wholesale first: Hobart's terminal gate for unleaded averaged 235.0 c/L across the week, so the servos kept 9.0 cents a litre before costs (diesel: 21.8). Over 28 days the terminal has moved +34.3 cents; over the last seven, +2.3.
Over five years Hobart's terminal price has run from 145.5 (7 December 2021) to 250.2 (26 March 2026); the dipstick at the top of the page marks where today's 236.8 falls. Retail follows the terminal with a lag of a week or two, which is what the forecast page uses.
