How these numbers are worked out. Every figure is the median price across every priced site in New South Wales, 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.

How much can you save by picking the right brand?

The spread between the cheapest and dearest brand is 12.0c a litre, which is $6.00 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.
