A week out from Christmas, south-east Queensland motorists have again been slugged with record petrol prices, a day after Brisbane set a fuel price record.

Fuel prices climbed to 174.9¢ a litre on Friday in Brisbane, breaking Thursday's record, while further afield Gold Coast and Ipswich prices also spiked.

The RACQ warned 86 per cent of retailers had hiked their prices above 171¢ per litre in Brisbane.
