Before you choose a station

Choose the fuel type your vehicle uses, compare stations within the distance you are willing to drive and check when each price was reported. Use a station on your normal route unless the price difference covers the extra travel. Brands reporting in Canberra include United, 7-Eleven, Ampol. Compare individual stations because a brand average can hide local differences.
