Welcome to the FuelRadar fuel price analysis for 16 May 2026. Across Australia, petrol and diesel prices continue to fluctuate as global supply pressures and local market cycles influence the bowser. Currently, we are seeing a noticeable divide between urban centres and regional areas, with drivers in metropolitan hubs capitalising on the bottom of the pricing cycle. E10 remains a popular choice for budget-conscious motorists, consistently tracking below standard unleaded options.
When we analyse the cheapest fuel across the states and territories, distinct regional variations emerge. Coastal capitals are currently enjoying more competitive pricing due to higher station density and aggressive local discounting. Regional drivers, particularly in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, face higher baseline costs due to transport logistics. However, savvy motorists can still find isolated bargains by tracking local independent retailers. The tables below outline the cheapest recorded prices across each state and territory.

Looking at the national landscape by fuel type, E10 consistently offers the lowest entry point for compatible vehicles, often undercutting regular Unleaded 91 by several cents per litre. Premium unleaded (95 and 98) premiums remain steady, while diesel prices show less volatility but sit at a higher average due to sustained commercial demand. The table below highlights the absolute cheapest stations nationally for each major fuel category.

Money-Saving Tips
- Track the Cycle: Major cities operate on distinct petrol price cycles. Aim to fill up when prices hit the bottom of the cycle in your local centre.
- Consider E10: If your vehicle is compatible, switching to E10 can provide immediate savings at the pump compared to standard unleaded.
- Shop Around: Independent retailers often offer highly competitive rates to attract customers from major chains.
- Maintain Tyre Pressure: Properly inflated tyres reduce rolling resistance, optimising your fuel economy and extending the distance travelled between fills.
