How many stations have reported prices in Newcastle?

Before you choose a station

Service stations in Newcastle can change prices during the day, so the city average is a guide rather than a bowser price. The reported premium 95 average is 212.0 c/L, and the lowest report is 22.1c/L below it. Check the station update time and distance before travelling for the difference.

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 Newcastle include Pearl, Metro, United. Compare individual stations because a brand average can hide local differences.
