⛽ What is NSW Fuel Prices?
NSW Fuel Prices is an independent website that aggregates and displays live petrol and diesel prices from service stations across New South Wales. Our goal is simple: help drivers find the cheapest fuel near them before they leave home, saving money on every fill-up.
All prices are sourced directly from the NSW Government Open Data portal. Under NSW legislation, service stations are required to report price changes to the government within 30 minutes of making them, so prices are generally very up-to-date.
🔄 How are prices updated?
Our fetcher queries the NSW Government Fuel Price API regularly throughout the day. Each page shows a Last updated timestamp so you know exactly how fresh the data is. Prices are sorted cheapest first so you can spot the best deal at a glance.
Prices shown are the values last reported by each station to NSW Government Open Data. They are generally reliable, but the pump is the only legally binding price. Always confirm before fuelling.

💡 Tips for saving at the pump
Fill up mid-week. Fuel prices in NSW typically follow a weekly cycle, rising into the weekend and falling on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Use E10 if your car accepts it. E10 is almost always the cheapest option and is compatible with most cars manufactured after 1986. Check your fuel cap or handbook to confirm.
Compare before you drive. The cheapest station in your suburb can be 10–15 c/L cheaper than the most expensive. At 50 L that’s $5–$7.50 per tank.
Check nearby suburbs. A station just across a suburb boundary can sometimes undercut your local area. Use the Nearby suburbs links on each page to compare.
