Hobart behaves differently from the mainland capitals. There's little of the regular cycling seen in the larger cities, so prices tend to sit flatter from week to week. The trade-off is that they also tend to run persistently higher than the mainland east coast.

Tasmania has its own live-price service, FuelCheck TAS, so you can still compare stations and find the cheaper boards near you even though the day-to-day swings are smaller than in a cycling city.
