As of March 24, 2026, the Australian fuel market is showing significant regional variance. National price trends indicate a period of relative stability for unleaded grades, while diesel prices continue to fluctuate due to international supply chain pressures. Motorists in metropolitan centres are currently benefiting from the downward phase of the price cycle, whereas regional areas remain more susceptible to slower price movements. To optimise your fueling budget, it is essential to recognise that prices can vary by over 30 cents per litre between neighbouring suburbs.
Our state-by-state analysis reveals that New South Wales and Victoria currently offer some of the most competitive E10 and Unleaded 91 prices in the country. In contrast, the Northern Territory and Tasmania continue to see higher averages due to increased transport costs and lower retail competition. By monitoring local trends, drivers can identify the best time to fill up, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne where price cycles are most pronounced. The following tables provide a detailed breakdown of the cheapest fuel currently available in each state and territory.

Analysing fuel types on a national scale shows that E10 remains the most cost-effective option for compatible vehicles, consistently undercutting Unleaded 91 across all major brands. For those requiring high-performance fuels, Premium 98 continues to command a significant margin, making it vital to compare prices at high-volume stations where turnover is greater. Diesel users are encouraged to look for independent retailers, who are currently fueling the market with more aggressive pricing compared to major chains. The table below identifies the single cheapest service station in Australia for each fuel category today.

Money-Saving Tips
- Monitor the Cycle: In major capital cities, petrol prices follow a cyclical pattern. Try to fill up when the cycle is at its lowest point and avoid fueling when prices begin their rapid climb.
- Choose E10: If your vehicle is compatible, switching to E10 can provide immediate savings at the pump compared to standard Unleaded 91.
- Avoid Convenience Premiums: Service stations located on major motorways or at highway bypasses often have higher prices. Traveling a few kilometres off the main route into a local centre can lead to substantial savings.
- Analyse Local Competition: Use real-time data to find clusters of stations. Increased competition in a small area usually drives prices down.
