When is the best day to buy petrol in Adelaide?

Across Adelaide, the better buying window depends on where the local price cycle sits, not a fixed weekday. Check whether prices are rising or easing, then compare nearby station prices and update times before a large fill.

How many stations have reported prices in Adelaide?

FuelRadar Australia lists reported prices at 43 stations across Adelaide, using available state reporting, retailer and station data.

Is it worth driving to a cheaper suburb in Adelaide?

Multiply the price difference by the litres you expect to buy, then compare that gross saving with the return distance, fuel used and time. A cheaper station already on your route needs less saving to make sense than a special trip across Adelaide.

Fuel advice

Comparing fuel prices in Adelaide

Compare the reported price, update time and distance before choosing a station in Adelaide.

43 stations across 8 fuel types are included in Adelaide, SA. Check the report time and use the map for distance before you drive.

Before you choose a station

Service stations in Adelaide can change prices during the day, so the city average is a guide rather than a bowser price. The reported diesel average is 240.2 c/L, and the lowest report is 7.7c/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 Adelaide include Shell, Independent, Liberty. Compare individual stations because a brand average can hide local differences.

Is a detour around Adelaide worth it?

The gap between the lowest and highest reported diesel price in Adelaide is 15.4c/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 Windsor Gardens, Kilburn North, Sefton Park and Northgate. Open a suburb page to compare its service stations, report times and distance. A suburb average is not the price at every bowser.
