Fuel saving tips

Turn the numbers into a cheaper fill-up

The practical habits that make the calculators useful before you leave.

Check before you fill

Check the map before every fill. A cheaper station only helps when its update time is recent and the detour is still on your route.

Time the cycle

Use the price cycle when you can choose the day. If prices are near a peak, buy only what you need and compare again as the cycle softens.

See price cycles

Stack discounts carefully

A docket, app lock or member price is only a saving after it beats the cheapest reported station nearby. Compare first, discount second.

Do the route maths

Use the trip and detour calculators when the cheaper station is off-route. Small cents-per-litre gaps disappear quickly after extra kilometres.

Calculator FAQ

Using fuel calculators with reported prices

Short answers before you rely on a cents-per-litre saving.

Use the reported station price for the exact fuel grade you plan to buy, then check the station update time. A stale cheap row can make a trip or detour look better than it is.
