Welcome to the FuelRadar national petrol and diesel price report for 26 May 2026. As we head into winter, fuel prices are showing mixed trends nationally. While some urban centres are experiencing the peak of their price cycles, regional areas continue to see steady baseline costs. By keeping a close eye on the market, motorists can still find significant savings at the bowser.
Prices vary considerably depending on your state or territory. Currently, independent retailers in suburban areas are offering the most competitive rates, particularly for E10 and Unleaded 91. Motorists in states with active price cycles should capitalise on the bottom of the cycle, while those in regional areas should compare local independents against major chains before fueling up. Below is a breakdown of the cheapest fuel prices across each state and territory.

Money-Saving Tips
- Understand the price cycle: Major cities have distinct petrol price cycles. Aim to fill up when prices are trending downwards or at the bottom of the cycle.
- Opt for E10: If your vehicle is compatible, E10 is generally the cheapest unleaded option available and a great way to lower your travel costs.
- Shop beyond the major chains: Independent retailers frequently offer the most competitive prices, so don't just default to the big brand centres.
- Maintain your vehicle: Properly inflated tyres and a well-serviced engine optimise fuel efficiency, ensuring you get the most out of every litre traveled.
