Viva Energy, the operator of Shell petrol stations, says Sydney fuel prices have peaked – but motorists in Brisbane and Melbourne should expect higher prices within a fortnight.
Sydney’s petrol prices are significantly higher than other major cities, NRMA data showed this week, and the motorist group’s spokesman, Peter Khoury, accused service station owners of “massively overcharging”. About 40 per cent of service stations were charging $2.35 per litre, the data showed, well above the $1.87 wholesale price.
