Australia's Cheapest Fuel Prices - Sunday 26 April 2026

Today, April 26, 2026, the Australian fuel market continues to exhibit significant regional variance, though national averages show a slight downward trend as several major capital cities move into the discounting phase of their price cycles. While global oil prices have remained relatively stable, local competition remains the primary driver for the lowest prices found at the pump today.

Our latest analysis across the states and territories reveals that South Australia and Western Australia are currently offering some of the most competitive rates, particularly for Unleaded 91 and E10. In contrast, motorists in the eastern states are seeing a wider spread between the cheapest and most expensive retailers, making it a crucial time to compare prices before fuelling up. The following tables provide a detailed breakdown of the most affordable locations in your region.

On a national level, the gap between the cheapest independent retailers and major brand service stations has widened to approximately 25 cents per litre in certain metropolitan centres. For those seeking E10, the best value is currently concentrated in suburban pockets rather than along major highway corridors. Diesel prices remain more consistent than petrol variants, though savvy drivers can still find significant savings by looking at industrial-fringe suburbs. The table below identifies the single cheapest station across the entire country for each primary fuel grade.

Money-Saving Tips

  • Monitor the Cycle: In cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, try to delay your purchase if prices are at the peak of the cycle, as they typically drop by several cents per day once the discounting begins.
  • Optimise with E10: If your vehicle is compatible, choosing E10 can offer a significant saving over standard Unleaded 91, often representing the best "cents-per-kilometre" value.
  • Avoid Highway Premiums: Fuel prices at service stations located on major motorways and bypasses are often significantly higher than those just a few kilometres away in local neighbourhood centres.
  • Loyalty and Vouchers: Always check if your supermarket dockets or roadside assistance memberships offer additional cents-per-litre discounts that can be stacked with already low prices.
