The Five Major Capital City Average is the unweighted average of the prices for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
The Regional Average price is calculated as the weighted average of the retail diesel fuel prices for the non-metropolitan regions in each State/Territory, where the weights are based on the number of vehicles using diesel fuel.
