How to read this outlook
CEF labels positive values as over-recovery and values in parentheses as under-recovery. We store parentheses as negative values. Under-recovery points to increase pressure; over-recovery points to decrease pressure. The period-average row is taken directly from the report, not calculated from a single daily value.
This is a market estimate. Final adjustments can include other components and are officially announced separately. It is not a guaranteed next-month price, today’s published price or a commercial quotation. We do not invent observations for missing days or weekends.

The price basis matters
Petrol has a regulated pump price. Diesel has a published wholesale reference and an unregulated retail price. The price structure combines the basic fuel price with domestic costs, margins, transport and levies. A dated reference does not include your specific delivery arrangement.
