FUEL prices have skyrocketed by 50 per cent across Gold Coast, but there are few stations selling for less than $1.

The prices have started to rise as restrictions ease and people are allowed to travel.

A month ago, most service stations throughout the city were offering unleaded fuel for under $1, which had not been seen in years.

There are service stations across the city charging up to $1.19/litre for unleaded.

There are few places selling for less than 80 cents.
