Welcome to the FuelRadar national price analysis for May 15, 2026. As petrol prices continue to fluctuate across Australia, staying informed is critical for motorists looking to optimise their travel budgets. Recent trends indicate significant variances between urban centres and regional areas, highlighting the importance of timing your visits to the bowser and tracking local price cycles to ensure you are getting the best value.
When we analyse the cheapest prices by state and territory, distinct patterns emerge. Western Australia continues its predictable cycle, often providing the most reliable opportunities for savings. Meanwhile, the eastern states—particularly New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland—are experiencing varied stages of their respective price cycles, leading to stark differences in minimum prices across neighbouring suburbs. Regional centres often miss out on the deep discounting seen in metropolitan areas, though independent retailers occasionally offer highly competitive rates. Review the state-by-state breakdown below to find the best local deals.

Looking nationally at specific fuel types, E10 consistently remains the most cost-effective option for compatible vehicles, often priced several cents below standard Unleaded 91. Premium fuels, such as Unleaded 95 and 98, maintain a steady premium, though savvy drivers can still find isolated bargains by comparing independent stations against major chains. Diesel prices remain relatively stable compared to petrol, heavily influenced by global supply rather than local retail cycles. See the table below for the cheapest stations nationwide for each fuel type.

Money-Saving Tips
- Understand the cycle: Capital cities have distinct petrol price cycles. Monitor these trends and aim to organise your fuelling during the bottom of the cycle.
- Use E10 if compatible: If your vehicle's manufacturer permits it, using E10 is an easy way to reduce your travel costs compared to standard unleaded.
- Maintain your vehicle: Keep your tyres properly inflated and remove unnecessary weight from your car to optimise fuel efficiency.
- Leverage discounts: Combine supermarket docket discounts with loyalty programs at the register or via your mobile app.
