Where does the data behind the guides come from?

Pump prices come from official state government reporting schemes and retailer disclosures, the same feeds that drive the live map. Market commentary draws on the national competition regulator, the Australian Institute of Petroleum, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, plus public submissions during fuel inquiries.

Can I suggest a topic?

Yes — if you have a fuel-pricing question you keep searching for and never get a clear answer to, use the contact form to suggest it. Real-world questions make the best guides.

Is this independent of the major retailers?

Yes. FuelRadar is reader-supported and not affiliated with Ampol, BP, Shell, the supermarkets or any of the major fuel networks. Guide opinions about brand pricing reflect the data, not commercial relationships.
