Welcome to the FuelRadar national price analysis for May 10, 2026. As Australians continue to navigate fluctuating living costs, securing the best deal at the petrol pump remains a high priority for household budgets. Nationally, we are seeing typical cyclical variations across major metropolitan centres, with regional areas maintaining steadier, albeit slightly higher, baseline prices. By keeping a close eye on the market, motorists can consistently find significant savings.
When we analyse the pricing landscape across the states and territories, distinct patterns emerge. Coastal capitals are currently experiencing different phases of their respective price cycles, meaning the cheapest petrol can often be found by travelling just a few kilometres to a neighbouring suburb. Independent retailers continue to offer highly competitive rates, frequently undercutting the major chains. Below is a detailed breakdown of the most affordable stations in each state and territory.

Looking at the national averages by fuel type, E10 remains the most budget-friendly option for compatible vehicles, consistently pricing below standard Unleaded 91. Premium fuels, such as Unleaded 95 and 98, show a wider price variance across the country, highlighting the importance of shopping around if your vehicle requires a higher octane rating. Diesel prices remain relatively stable but elevated compared to regular petrol. The table below highlights the absolute cheapest stations across Australia for each specific fuel type.

Money-Saving Tips
- Understand the Cycle: Capital cities have distinct price cycles. Aim to organise your fuelling during the bottom of the cycle when prices are at their lowest.
- Opt for E10: If your vehicle is compatible, choosing E10 over regular unleaded petrol can save you several cents per litre.
- Support Independents: Independent service stations often provide the most competitive prices to attract local drivers.
- Avoid Highway Fill-ups: Stations located on major highways or right in the city centre tend to charge a premium for convenience.
