Two Birkdale Servos Cut Unleaded to 209.9 and 211.9 While Victoria Point Holds 234.9

Two servos 407 metres apart on Birkdale Road have matched each other's unleaded cuts down to 209.9 and 211.9, which puts both within 2.4 cents of the cheapest price in greater Brisbane. In Victoria Point and Redland Bay, 12 to 15 km to the south east, every servo is still on 234.9 or 235.9.

All figures here come from official Queensland fuel price data, as at 11:15am AEST on 10th Nov 2026.

A 2 cent duel on Birkdale Road

Shell Express Birkdale lodged unleaded at 223.9 at 10:29am on Thursday 5th Nov. Since then it has cut exactly 2 cents seven times, reaching 209.9 at 10:31am today. Of 458 greater Brisbane servos, only Pearl Energy Cannon Hill and Shell Tingalpa are lower, both on 209.5.

EG Ampol Birkdale sat on 239.9 from Wednesday until 2:42pm Friday, then cut 22 cents in one move to 217.9, 2 cents under its neighbour. From there, each move was matched within 70 minutes:

Shell Express then cut again to 209.9 at 10:31am, and EG Ampol Birkdale was still on 211.9 at the latest update.

Cleveland: 13 cents across 223 metres

In Cleveland, 7 Eleven Cleveland cut from 239.9 to 229.9 at 11:43am on Monday, and Ampol Foodary Cleveland on Shore Street, 223 metres away, matched it at 2:52pm. The two have since split. At 9:02am today the Ampol Foodary cut a further 13 cents to 216.9, in the same minute as Ampol Foodary Alexandra Hills, while 7 Eleven Cleveland was still on 229.9 at the latest update.

Redland City's north and south

Redland City now has two price zones. The eight servos with a current unleaded price in Birkdale, Wellington Point and Cleveland have a median of 214.9, while the five in Victoria Point and Redland Bay sit on 234.9 or 235.9.

At noon on Tuesday 3rd Nov, the northern median was 239.9 and the four southern servos with a current price were on 244.9 to 247.9, about 8 cents higher. A week later the gap is 20 cents.

Comparing the same brand at each end gives a similar result:

The Shell Reddy Express pair shows how the gap formed. Across greater Brisbane, the brand cut exactly 2 cents at 45 sites on Friday morning, 46 on Saturday, 48 on Monday and 48 today. Since a 3 cent cut on Wednesday, the Victoria Point site has moved only in 2 cent steps, 13 cents in all. The Cleveland site, 7 km north, cut 23 cents, including 9 cents on Wednesday afternoon and 4 cents on Friday afternoon.

The data does not show why, though the north has an independent, U Go Cleveland on 213.4, while all five Victoria Point and Redland Bay servos are major brand sites.

Victoria Point is not the only area left behind. The greater Brisbane median fell from 237.9 to 223.9 over the week, yet nine servos across Springfield, Goodna and nearby suburbs sit on exactly 234.9.

E10

Shell Express Birkdale lists E10 at 205.9, 0.4 cents above Shell Tingalpa on 205.5, which has the lowest E10 prices in greater Brisbane. EG Ampol Birkdale is on 209.9, and the five Victoria Point and Redland Bay sites are on 232.9 to 233.9.

What this means for your next fill

Filling up at Shell Express Birkdale on 209.9 rather than in Victoria Point on 234.9 saves 25 cents a litre, or $15.00 on a 60 litre tank. The savings calculator can run the numbers for your own car. Brand is no guide here: EG Ampol is on 211.9 in Birkdale and 235.9 in Victoria Point.

Shell Express Birkdale has cut on five of the last six days, and the best time to fill up guide explains how price cycles work. The next thing to watch is whether Victoria Point follows the north down, or whether the Birkdale duel ends with a lift. Both will show on the unleaded petrol prices page.

The numbers are clear: with 20 cents between the two ends of Redland City, which end you fill up in matters more this week than which brand you choose.
