Find fuel prices near you with FuelRadar. Learn how to use the map, station list, update times, fuel filters and local price pages to choose a useful nearby station.
Key points
Key takeaways
A cheaper station is useful only when it has the right fuel grade, a recent update time and a sensible detour.
Use the map for location, then the list for price, distance and station update time.
Nearby suburb pages help when the cheapest station is just outside your immediate area.
Price-cycle context tells you whether to fill the whole tank or buy only enough to wait.
Using this guide
Before you act on the guide
Check the station price, report time and distance before changing your route.
How to find fuel prices near you
Open the FuelRadar map, search your suburb or postcode, then select the fuel type your car uses. The map shows nearby stations and the list view lets you compare price, distance, brand and update time. Do not choose only by the lowest number. The best result is the cheapest useful station: the right fuel grade, a recent update, a sensible detour and a price that is meaningfully below the local average.
Use the map and list together
The map is best for seeing where stations are clustered and whether a cheaper option is on your route. The list is best for the last check because you can scan prices and distances quickly. If two stations are within a few cents per litre, choose the one that saves time or has a more recent update.
Check the fuel grade before driving
Fuel prices near me searches often fail because drivers compare the wrong fuel. U91, E10, premium 95, premium 98, diesel and premium diesel can move differently. A station that is cheapest for E10 may not be cheapest for diesel. Set the fuel filter first, then compare stations.
Check the update time
Fuel prices can change during the day. A recent update is more useful than an old bargain, especially when the price cycle is resetting. Open the station card and check how recently the price was reported before driving across town.
Look just outside the suburb boundary
The cheapest nearby fuel is often one suburb over. That is why FuelRadar local pages combine the map with nearby suburbs, city pages and station pages. If your immediate area looks expensive, open a neighbouring suburb or the city page and compare the broader spread.
Check whether to fill now or wait
Finding the cheapest station is only half the job. If the city is near a price-cycle peak, it can make more sense to buy enough to get through the next few days and wait for prices to fall. If the local market is near a trough, fill more completely so you do not need to buy during the next spike.
