WHY SINGAPORE MOGAS 95 MATTERS: This is the primary benchmark that determines Australian wholesale fuel prices, with a 1–2 week lag to retail. When Mogas 95 drops, expect Australian retail prices to follow within 2 weeks. Current: US$89.14/bbl — needs to fall below US$65/bbl for meaningful retail relief.
