Welcome to the FuelRadar national price analysis for May 5, 2026. Across Australia, petrol prices continue to fluctuate as major capital cities navigate different stages of their respective price cycles. While urban centres experience these regular peaks and troughs, regional areas maintain steadier, albeit often slightly higher, baseline averages. By analysing current data, we can help you optimise your fueling strategy and find the best value at the pump.
When breaking down the cheapest fuel by state and territory, distinct regional variations emerge. Independent retailers consistently offer the most competitive rates, particularly for E10 and Unleaded 91. Western Australia's regulated daily price cycle provides predictable savings, while drivers in the eastern states must remain vigilant to catch the bottom of the cycle. Below is a detailed breakdown of the cheapest stations across each state and territory to help you plan your next fill-up.

Looking at the national landscape by fuel type, E10 remains the most budget-friendly petrol option for compatible vehicles, often significantly undercutting standard Unleaded 91. Diesel prices show less volatility but require shopping around major transport routes for the best deals. Premium fuels (95 and 98 RON) maintain their standard margins above regular unleaded, though independent chains frequently offer strong discounts to attract motorists. See the table below for the cheapest stations nationwide for every fuel type.

Money-Saving Tips
- Monitor the Price Cycle: Capital city prices operate on cycles. Aim to fill up when prices are at the bottom of the cycle in your local centre.
- Switch to E10: If your vehicle is compatible, E10 is consistently cheaper than regular unleaded petrol and can provide significant savings over time.
- Look for Independents: Independent service stations frequently undercut major supermarket and multinational chains.
- Combine Discounts: Utilise shopper dockets and loyalty programs where available to further reduce the pump price.
