Where fuel prices come from
FuelRadar uses published government, retailer and station sources. A station page shows the report time when the source provides one.
Price sources
NSW, Queensland and Victoria use government-backed fuel-price reporting, and other jurisdictions publish their own official price services with different rules, coverage and delivery times. WA publishes a notified price that is fixed for the next day; elsewhere a source may publish a price change after the retailer reports it. FuelRadar identifies the supported source and report time where available.
7named public price schemes
Update timing
Mandatory reporting in NSW and Queensland means stations must submit price changes through the relevant scheme, though updates can still take time to arrive. Service Victoria requires participating operators to report a change within 30 minutes, and the Servo Saver open data used by FuelRadar can arrive later than the retailer report (© State of Victoria accessed via the Victorian Government Service Victoria Platform). South Australia, Tasmania, the NT and ACT use their own official or supported sources. Use the report time on the station page.

Data checks
Fuel grades, brands and station names are matched consistently so a U91 comparison stays separate from E10, diesel and premium fuels. Invalid prices and placeholder records are removed before a page is shown; averages and comparisons use station reports that pass these checks. A station page shows its most recent reported price, not a rolling average.
Forecasts and their accuracy
City forecasts are estimates from each city’s daily averages and its price cycle, never a published price. FuelRadar replays past forecasts against the averages that followed and publishes how far they missed on the forecast accuracy page.
Market and supply pages
Market pages use public government statistics, scheduled releases and recognised wholesale benchmarks such as terminal gate prices. Supply pages use public outage, wholesale and government fuel-cover information to identify possible pressure; these indicators do not confirm that a particular station is out of fuel.
Where these prices come from
Each jurisdiction uses its own scheme. The pump remains the final price.
| Region | Source | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| NSW / ACT | NSW FuelCheck | Stations report price changes through FuelCheck. Use the station report time; a new board price can still take time to arrive. |
| QLD | Queensland fuel price reporting | Retailers report through the state scheme. Check the source time shown on the station page. |
| VIC | Servo Saver | Participating operators should report a change within 30 minutes. The open data FuelRadar uses can arrive later than the retailer report. © State of Victoria accessed via the Victorian Government Service Victoria Platform |
| WA | FuelWatch | Tomorrow's notified prices appear after 2:30pm and are held from 6am for 24 hours. |
| SA | SA Fuel Pricing | South Australia publishes its own official price service. Coverage and delivery times can differ by area. |
| TAS | Fuel Check Tasmania | Tasmania publishes Fuel Check TAS. Check the named source and report time rather than assuming every state updates the same way. |
| NT | MyFuel NT | The Northern Territory publishes MyFuel NT. Check the report time on each station. |
Official South Australian publisher listing
The official publisher listing confirms access to the South Australian fuel-price scheme. FuelRadar remains responsible for its own service, calculations and corrections.
Independent service
The listing confirms scheme access. It is not a South Australian Government endorsement or affiliation. FuelRadar controls how its pages explain, check and compare reported prices.
Citing the data
Journalists, councils and publishers can use the current FuelRadar fuel data report for dated tables, charts and citation wording, or use an attributed FuelRadar widget when a live card is more useful than a fixed figure.

Check the report time and bowser price
Reported prices help you compare stations. The price shown at the service station is final.
Check the report time
Open the station page and check when the source published the price. An older report may no longer match the board.
Confirm at the bowser
A retailer can change a price between source updates, especially during a price cycle. Check the board before you fill.
Allow for coverage differences
FuelRadar Australia uses several public sources, so coverage and update timing vary by state, region and fuel type.
FuelRadar does not set prices
FuelRadar reports published prices. It does not set or influence the amount charged by a service station.
