The RACQ has accused some retailers in south-east Queensland of attempting to reintroduce what it characterizes as an "unfair" fuel price cycle. According to the motoring organization, motorists in the region have recently benefited from more stable fuel pricing, but recent developments suggest this may be changing.

The RACQ's position is that the absence of lengthy fuel price cycles has resulted in fairer outcomes for consumers. The organization has observed signs indicating that retailers may be moving toward reinstating cyclical pricing patterns, which it views as disadvantageous to motorists.

The accusation raises questions about retail fuel pricing practices in Queensland and suggests potential tension between consumer advocacy and retail business operations in the fuel sector.
