Welcome to the FuelRadar national fuel price report for 18 May 2026. Across Australia, we are currently observing distinct cyclical fluctuations in petrol prices, with noticeable variances between major urban centres and regional areas. This report will analyse the current market trends to help you optimise your fuel budget and find the best value at the bowser.
When we analyse the cheapest fuel prices across the states and territories, coastal capital cities are currently experiencing the more volatile ends of their price cycles. Meanwhile, regional centres remain relatively stable, albeit at slightly higher baseline averages due to freight costs. The tables below highlight the most competitive stations in each state, allowing you to easily recognise where the best local deals are situated.

Nationally, E10 continues to offer the lowest entry point for drivers, frequently undercutting standard unleaded petrol by several cents per litre. Premium fuels maintain their standard margins, though independent retailers are occasionally discounting these to drive volume. Diesel prices remain heavily influenced by global freight demands and show less cyclical movement than petrol. Below is the breakdown of the absolute cheapest stations across the country for each fuel type.

Money-Saving Tips
- Track the Cycle: Capital city petrol prices follow distinct cycles. Aim to organise your fuelling when prices hit the bottom of the cycle in your local centre.
- Choose E10: If your vehicle is compatible, opting for E10 instead of standard unleaded can consistently shave dollars off your total fill.
- Look for Independents: Independent retailers often lead the market down during the discounting phase of the price cycle.
- Avoid Highway Fuelling: Stations located on major highways or near busy transport hubs typically charge a premium for convenience.
