Australia's Cheapest Fuel Prices - Friday 17 April 2026

As of April 17, 2026, the Australian fuel market continues to exhibit significant regional variance. While several capital cities are currently transitioning into the discounting phase of their price cycles, others remain at a premium. National average prices for Unleaded 91 and E10 have stabilised over the last forty-eight hours, offering a strategic window for motorists to fill up before any projected weekend increases. Tracking these movements is essential to optimise your household budget.

Our analysis across the states and territories shows that Queensland and South Australia are currently leading the way with the most competitive pricing for E10 and Unleaded 91. Conversely, motorists in New South Wales and Victoria are experiencing a broader price gap between independent retailers and major brands. In Western Australia, the regulated price cycle means Tuesday remains a critical day for those looking to secure the lowest rates. The tables below provide a comprehensive breakdown of the cheapest fueling locations in each region.

Money-Saving Tips

• Track the Price Cycle: Petrol prices in major metropolitan areas follow a distinct cycle. Always aim to fill up when the trend is downward and avoid the sharp peaks.
• Utilise E10: If your vehicle is compatible, E10 is typically the most affordable petrol option. Ensure the price difference is at least 2 to 3 cents per litre to offset the slightly lower energy content.
• Analyse Suburb Variance: Fuel prices can vary by as much as 30 cents per litre between neighbouring suburbs. A five-minute detour can often save you over $15 on a full tank.
• Plan Your Route: Avoid fueling up on motorways or in central business districts where overheads are higher and prices are rarely the most competitive.
