How these numbers are worked out. Every figure is the median price across every priced site in the country, and every range is the 10th to 90th percentile — not the cheapest and dearest pump, so a single mistyped price can't move what you read here. Prices come from the state government fuel feeds (FuelCheck NSW, FuelPricesQLD, FuelWatch WA, Fair Fuel VIC, SA) and only count if they were updated in the last 72 hours. A price is discarded if it sits more than 30c below its own state and fuel-type median, which is how a feed's occasional nonsense figure gets caught; prices above the median are kept, because remote roadhouses genuinely charge far more. 40 prices discarded this build. Prices as at 2 November 2026, 9:15am.

Worth knowing

Ampol and Ampol Foodary are not the same price

Same company, same points program, 5.0c a litre apart. Ampol Foodary sites run a typical 239.9c against 244.9c at sites branded plain Ampol — $2.50 a tank, and you earn Everyday Rewards at both. If you have a choice of the two, the Foodary is usually the cheaper one.

Common questions

Asked and answered

Which fuel brand is cheapest in Australia?

Pearl Energy, at a typical 232.7c a litre for ULP 91 as at 2 November 2026, 9:15am. Metro Petroleum and Liberty follow at 233.8c and 237.8c.

How much can you save by picking the right brand?

The spread between the cheapest and dearest brand is 12.2c a litre, which is $6.10 on a 50L fill. Within any one brand the spread between its own sites is usually wider than that, so the servo matters more than the sign.

Are servos with points programs more expensive?

Brands that earn points run about 2.0c a litre dearer here than those that don't — $1.00 a tank, which is usually more than the points come back to.
