NEWS

ACAPMag is a convenient and comprehensive news website that contains externally sourced news articles alongside those prepared by ACAPMA on a wide variety of key issues of importance to the downstream petroleum industry.

ACAPMAg articles are sourced from all local and international news sources, and in addition ACAPMA also produces its own editorials which cover some of the most important issues relevant to subscribers.  This includes regular Advocacy, current events, trends and analysis along with the regular features through the HR Highlights which provide general guidance on employment matters, Safety Highlights, Case Reviews, Member and Partner Highlights.

This industry information service provides updates of changes in government policy and regulation, best practice guidelines, market developments and insights into some of the longer-term trends that are expected to shape the nature of the industry into the future. As of today, the ACAPMAg site contains over 6,800 news items.  This news website doubles as an ‘electronic library’ that allows users to review past articles about developments in the fuel industry.

ACAPMA also prepares a weekly electronic newsletter, the ACAPMAg eNews, which is emailed to around 3,500 ACAPMAg subscribers every week.  Recipients include ACAPMA members, associates, fuel wholesale, distribution and retail businesses, specialised fuel equipment and service suppliers and service providers.

Developed in concert with the operators, suppliers and regulators the ACAPMA Fuel Industry Best Practice Guidelines are regularly reviewed and updated as required

Monitor of Consumer Attitudes Report

Every two years ACAPMA undertakes research into consumer attitudes towards the petrol-convenience industry in Australia

This periodic research is not a survey of actual shopping behaviours, but rather, is a survey of consumer attitudes towards service stations with a specific focus on the factors that underpin their fuel purchase decisions.

The Monitor is funded by ACAPMA directly and is provided to the industry at no charge.

See below for the most recent copies of the Monitor.

Fuel Pricing

Fuel prices are subject to international and domestic pressures and are the result of a dynamic competitive environment

Most Australian capital cities markets operate with a fuel price discount cycle. This phenomenon is driven by local market competition in each capital city where fuel retailers compete with each other to increase their volume by steadily discounting their price over a period of time. These cycles are specific to each capital city and move independently of global fuel price movements.
