National Fuel Price Trends
Welcome to the FuelRadar analyst report for 3 May 2026. Across Australia, we continue to see significant volatility in the retail fuel market. Global crude oil fluctuations and local wholesale dynamics mean that petrol and diesel prices are shifting rapidly. Motorists who take the time to analyse trends and shop around are securing the best value, avoiding the peak of the price cycles in major metropolitan centres.
Cheapest Prices by State and Territory
Fuel prices vary dramatically across the country depending on local competition, freight costs, and the current stage of the price cycle. Independent retailers are frequently driving competition, offering substantial discounts compared to major chains. Regional motorists are seeing more stable but generally higher prices compared to the capital cities. Review the tables below to find the most competitive stations in your state or territory.

Cheapest Fuel Nationally by Type
When we analyse the cheapest fuel nationally by type, E10 consistently emerges as the most cost-effective option for compatible vehicles, offering notable savings over standard Unleaded 91. Premium unleaded options (95 and 98) maintain a steady premium, while diesel prices show less cyclical variation but remain highly competitive at independent sites. See the table below for the nation's absolute lowest prices for each fuel type.

Money-Saving Tips
To optimise your savings at the bowser, keep these actionable tips in mind:
- Monitor the cycle: Capital city petrol prices move in cycles. Always aim to fill up when prices hit the bottom of the cycle in your centre.
- Consider E10: If your vehicle is compatible, switching to E10 can save you several cents per litre compared to standard unleaded petrol.
- Leverage discounts: Combine supermarket shopper dockets with competitively priced stations to maximise your overall discount.
- Avoid highway refuelling: Stations on major freeways often charge a premium for convenience. Plan ahead and fill up in suburban areas before you have travelled too far.
