Australia's Cheapest Fuel Prices - Saturday 18 April 2026

Today, 18 April 2026, fuel prices across Australia continue to show significant regional variance. While several capital cities are currently moving through the downward phase of their pricing cycles, regional areas remain relatively stable. Drivers should be aware that the national average for Unleaded 91 has fluctuated slightly over the past week, making it essential to monitor local trends to recognise the best time to fill up and optimise savings.

Our latest analysis reveals that New South Wales and Queensland currently offer some of the most competitive rates for E10 and Unleaded 91. In contrast, South Australia and Western Australia are seeing higher averages as they enter a new pricing cycle. Consumers in Victoria should look for independent retailers who are currently undercutting the major brands by several cents per litre. Detailed pricing for each state and territory can be found in the tables below.

On a national level, the cheapest fuel is often found in the outer metropolitan suburbs of major cities. For those seeking E10, specific outlets in Western Sydney and South-East Queensland are currently leading the market. Diesel users will find the best value along major freight corridors, where high volume often leads to more aggressive pricing. The following table identifies the single cheapest service station across Australia for each fuel type today.

Money-Saving Tips

  • Monitor the Cycle: Recognise the fuel price cycles in major capital cities; aim to fill up when prices are at their lowest point before the next sharp increase.
  • Utilise E10: If your vehicle is compatible, E10 is consistently the most affordable petrol option available.
  • Avoid Convenience Premiums: Fuel prices at motorway service centres and main road intersections are often higher than those found at a suburban centre just a few kilometres away.
  • Loyalty Schemes: Combine low prices with supermarket dockets or fuel loyalty programmes to further reduce your total cost.
