Petrol prices across the state have dropped, according to the NRMA weekly fuel report, on the back of the global oil price.

Global oil prices are now at the lowest level since December 2003, due to a number of factors, including the expansion of coronavirus cases globally across 199 countries and territories.

The NRMA is predicting average regular unleaded prices to fall through the $1 per litre mark in the next two to three weeks.

According to its weekly fuel report, Adelaide has already fallen below the $1 level and Perth is expected to follow.

In Port Macquarie motorists could fill up with unleaded petrol for 110.9 per litre at an independent petrol station on Gordon Street on Wednesday, April 4.

On the other end of the spectrum, the most expensive fuel could be purchased for 132.9 per litre at four petrol stations in Port Macquarie.

Meanwhile in Laurieton, three stations had unleaded petrol priced at just 120.9 and at Kew for 119.9.

According to the NRMA, over the past week average regular unleaded prices fell 3.0 cents per litre while diesel prices also fell 3.0 cents per litre.

Over the past three weeks regular unleaded and diesel prices have now fallen 9.2 cents per litre and 8.0 cents per litre in regional NSW.

The NRMA urges people to arm themselves with knowledge and to find the best price of fuel in their area.
