Australia's Cheapest Fuel Prices - Saturday 28 March 2026

Today, 28 March 2026, the Australian fuel market continues to show significant volatility across different regions. National price trends suggest a slight easing in the cost of unleaded petrol in several capital cities as they enter the discounting phase of their price cycles. However, diesel remains relatively stable with less fluctuation, reflecting its link to global industrial demand. Motorists are encouraged to monitor local trends closely to identify the bottom of the cycle in their specific area.

An analysis of the cheapest prices by state and territory reveals that South Australia and Western Australia currently offer some of the most competitive rates for Unleaded 91. In New South Wales and Queensland, the price gap between premium fuels and E10 has widened, making E10 an increasingly attractive option for budget-conscious drivers. Conversely, regional areas in the Northern Territory and Tasmania continue to see higher average prices due to transport costs and reduced retail competition. Checking the state-specific data below will help you identify the best-value suburbs in your region.

When looking at the cheapest fuel nationally by type, independent retailers are currently leading the market by offering aggressive pricing to attract volume. E10 remains the most affordable entry point for petrol vehicles across the country, while the lowest diesel prices are often found at high-volume truck stops and independent centres on the fringes of major metropolitan hubs. By comparing the national leaders, consumers can recognise the significant savings available when choosing to bypass higher-priced branded outlets in favour of discount leaders.

Money-Saving Tips

  • Track the Cycle: In major cities, petrol prices follow a distinct cycle. Aim to fill up your tank when prices are trending towards the low point rather than waiting for the inevitable spike.
  • Opt for E10: If your vehicle is compatible, using E10 instead of standard Unleaded 91 can provide immediate savings at the pump.
  • Avoid the Convenience Trap: Fuel at major motorway service centres is often priced higher for convenience. Plan your fuelling stops in suburban areas to find better deals.
  • Analyse Local Competition: Use real-time data to find clusters of stations. Increased competition in a small geographical area often leads to lower prices as retailers fight for customers.
