Canberra fuel prices

Service stations in Canberra can change prices during the day, so the city average is a guide rather than a bowser price. The reported premium 95 average is 216.8 c/L, and the lowest report is 5.9c/L below it. Check the station update time and distance before travelling for the difference.

On each station row, check the fuel type, report time and distance. An older report or a station well off your route may not be worth a small price difference. If your vehicle uses diesel, premium or an ethanol blend, use the fuel-type table instead of the premium 95 list. Prices for different fuels do not always move together.

The gap between the lowest and highest reported premium 95 price in Canberra is 15.0c/L. Prices may differ by suburb as well as brand. For a detour, allow for the extra kilometres and check that the lower report is recent.

Lower suburb averages currently include Jerrabomberra, Red Hill, Yarrow and Weetangera. Open a suburb page to compare its service stations, report times and distance. A suburb average is not the price at every bowser.

Recent local history for Canberra: Usually cheapest on Thursday. Weekly patterns vary, so check today's station reports as well. The fuel map shows reported prices along your route. Prices are drawn from FuelCheck ACT. Check the station update time and confirm the final price at the bowser.

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, EG, BP. Compare individual stations because a brand average can hide local differences.
