We publish the full report at https://fuelradar.com.au/fuel-price-reports/tas/2026-10. It ranks every town and names the cheapest station in each area. Every average is the station-day average: each day, each station counts once at its latest price. All figures in this report are period averages, not today's prices.
Our map at https://fuelradar.com.au/map shows current prices. You can check the map before you take a detour to fill your tank.
How we worked these out: each day, every service station counts once at its latest price, carried forward at most 30 days, and the averages are taken over every station-day in the period. The full report ranks every town we could rank and names the cheapest station in each. Download the PDF.
