Australia's Cheapest Fuel Prices - Friday 3 April 2026

As of April 3, 2026, national petrol prices continue to exhibit significant volatility across major metropolitan centres. While international market pressures remain a factor, local retail margins have created a diverse pricing landscape. Motorists who take the time to analyse the market can find substantial savings, particularly as some states enter the lower phase of their price cycles, while others remain stable.

Our latest data shows that Western Australia and South Australia are currently leading the way with the most competitive prices for E10 and Unleaded 91. In contrast, the Northern Territory and Tasmania continue to see higher averages due to increased transport costs. For those in New South Wales and Victoria, we recommend fueling up at independent retailers who are currently leading the downward trend in the price cycle. Detailed breakdowns of the most affordable locations in each region are available in the tables below.

When looking at the national landscape by fuel type, E10 remains the most cost-effective choice for compatible vehicles, consistently priced several cents lower than standard Unleaded 91. Premium fuel users should recognise that the price gap for Unleaded 95 and 98 has remained steady this week, though significant savings can still be found by avoiding major arterial road stations. Diesel prices have shown more stability compared to petrol, though regional variations still favour those who shop around. The following table identifies the single cheapest station in the country for each fuel category.

Money-Saving Tips

  • Use the FuelRadar app to compare prices in real-time before you begin traveling to ensure you find the best deal.
  • Opt for E10 where your vehicle manufacturer permits, as it offers a consistent discount over Unleaded 91.
  • Try to avoid fueling at motorway service centres or convenient locations near major intersections, as these often carry a price premium.
  • Keep an eye on price cycles in major cities; filling up at the bottom of a cycle can save you over 20 cents per litre.
  • Optimise your fuel efficiency by maintaining correct tyre pressures and removing unnecessary weight from your vehicle.
