Australia's Cheapest Fuel Prices - Monday 27 April 2026

As of April 27, 2026, the Australian fuel market continues to exhibit significant price variance across different jurisdictions. National trends indicate that while global crude oil prices have stabilised, local factors such as the timing of retail price cycles in major capital cities remain the primary driver for what motorists pay at the bowser. We are currently observing a divergence between states, with some regions approaching the peak of their price cycles while others offer excellent opportunities for budget-conscious drivers to fill up.

Our latest analysis of state and territory data reveals that Western Australia continues to benefit from its unique regulatory environment, often providing more predictable pricing trends. Meanwhile, motorists in New South Wales and Victoria are seeing a wider spread between the cheapest and most expensive outlets, highlighting the importance of shopping around. Regional areas, despite traditionally higher transport costs, are occasionally outperforming metropolitan centres where the price cycle is at its peak.

When analysing the cheapest fuel nationally by type, E10 remains the most affordable option for compatible vehicles, offering a consistent discount over standard Unleaded 91. For those requiring high-performance fuels, the gap between Premium 95 and 98 has narrowed slightly, though they still command a significant surcharge. Diesel prices have shown greater stability compared to petrol variants this week, providing some relief for transport operators and owners of diesel-powered SUVs and utes.

Money-Saving Tips

  • Track the Cycle: In major capital cities, petrol prices follow a cyclical pattern. Aim to fill your tank when prices are at the bottom of the cycle, as the jump to the peak can happen overnight.
  • Opt for E10: If your vehicle is compatible, choosing E10 can save you several cents per litre compared to regular Unleaded 91 without significantly impacting performance.
  • Avoid Motorway Service Centres: Petrol stations located along major highways or in high-traffic city centres often charge a premium. Driving just a few kilometres off the main track can lead to substantial savings.
  • Use Loyalty Schemes: Combine the lowest prices found in our report with supermarket dockets or loyalty card discounts to further reduce your total cost.
