Australia's Cheapest Fuel Prices - Tuesday 24 March 2026

As of 24 March 2026, the Australian fuel market continues to exhibit significant regional volatility. National averages have stabilised slightly over the last 48 hours, yet the price gap between the most expensive and cheapest retailers remains wide. Motorists are encouraged to monitor local price cycles, particularly in capital cities where the difference between the peak and the trough of the cycle can impact the cost of a full tank by over fifteen dollars. Recognising these trends is essential for those looking to minimise their transport overheads.

An analysis of the cheapest prices by state and territory shows that Western Australia and South Australia are currently leading the way with the most competitive E10 and Unleaded 91 prices. Meanwhile, motorists in the eastern states are seeing a broader spread in pricing, with independent retailers often undercutting the major brands to attract budget-conscious drivers. Regional areas continue to see higher baseline prices due to logistics costs, though some local hubs have stabilised their rates. Detailed state-by-state breakdowns are provided in the tables below.

Money-Saving Tips

• Check the price cycle: In major cities, try to time your fuelling for the bottom of the cycle to avoid paying peak prices.
• Opt for E10: If your vehicle is compatible, E10 is consistently the most budget-friendly petrol option available.
• Avoid the motorway: Prices at service centres along major highways are often higher; filling up in suburban side streets can lead to better deals.
• Analyse the spread: Use real-time data to see if driving an extra two kilometres could save you five to ten cents per litre.
