The cheapest fuel near you, and whether it's worth the drive.
Set your car's fuel once (unleaded 91, premium 95 or 98, E10, diesel, LPG or electric) and Wayaroo shows the cheapest station for it within the distance you choose (from 0.5 km to 1,000 km), the average price across the area, and how far the cheapest one is.
It also does the sum most apps leave to you: is the drive worth it? Wayaroo takes the saving on a 40-litre fill, subtracts the fuel you'd burn getting there and back in your own car, and tells you plainly: "worth the drive, about $3.10 ahead", or "closer is cheaper overall".
When to fill up
Petrol prices in Australian cities move in a cycle: they jump, then drift down over a few weeks. Wayaroo keeps a daily median price for your area and compares today with the last six weeks, so the fuel card says one of: good time to fill up (near the recent low), prices just went up, buy only what you need, coming down, wait a few days if you can, or in the middle of the usual range. No forecasts, just where today sits.
Where the prices come from
- New South Wales: the NSW Government's FuelCheck prices for every station. Live now.
- Tasmania: the Tasmanian Government's FuelCheck TAS prices for every station. Live now.
- Western Australia: FuelWatch prices (Government of Western Australia) for every station, and after 2:30 pm WA time also tomorrow's prices. Live now.
- Victoria: the state government's Servo Saver feed (every station's official price, about a day old, CC BY 4.0) is being connected. Until then, Victorian stations show prices that drivers share.
- Everywhere: prices shared by Wayaroo drivers. Tap a station, type the price on the board, done. The newest price wins.
- Queensland, South Australia, the Northern Territory and the ACT: official feeds are not connected yet. Prices shared by drivers work there now.
Trip cost before you leave
Plan a trip and Wayaroo shows what it will cost in fuel for your car, using the local average price, next to the public transport fare, so you can compare the two honestly.

Prices can change during the day and can be wrong; the board at the station is what you pay. Details on the data credits page.
