Search your area
Enter a suburb or postcode to move the map to the area you need. FuelRadar shows nearby service stations on the map and in a list. You can then compare the stations that fit your route.
Choose the right fuel grade
Select the fuel your vehicle uses, such as U91, E10, P95, P98 or diesel. Prices for different grades should not be compared with each other. Check your owner's manual or fuel-flap label if you are unsure which grade the vehicle requires.
Compare station details
| Detail | What to check |
|---|---|
| Reported price | Compare the same fuel grade at several nearby stations. |
| Distance | Check whether the station is on your route or needs a return detour. |
| Update time | Prefer a recent report when two prices are otherwise similar. |
| Address and brand | Confirm that you have selected the intended service station. |
| Directions | Open directions after choosing the station. |
Use the station list
The list makes it easier to compare several stations without relying on map-marker positions. Sort or review the results by price and distance, then open a station page for address details, available fuel grades and report times.
Check a longer detour
Fuel prices can change during the day. Check the fuel grade, update time and distance before travelling across town. A small price gap may not cover the fuel used on a return detour; use the detour calculator when the station is well off your route.
Use local pages for a wider comparison
Suburb and city pages show prices across a wider area. Brand and fuel-type pages are useful when you need a particular retailer or fuel grade. Price-cycle pages show whether supported cities are near a higher or lower part of the retail cycle.
Where prices come from
FuelRadar uses supported state price-reporting programs, prices reported by retailers and station reports. Coverage and update timing vary by state and fuel type. Check the station report time and use the price displayed at the bowser as final.
