How these numbers are worked out. Every figure is the median price across every priced diesel 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. 44 prices discarded this build.

Common questions

Asked and answered

What is the average diesel price in New South Wales?

The typical (median) diesel price is 282.5c a litre, with most sites between 269.1c and 290.9c, across 1,175 sites priced in the last 72 hours as at 27 October 2026, 9:15am.

Why is diesel more expensive than petrol?

Diesel is 42.6c a litre above ULP 91 in New South Wales right now — $21 on a 50L fill. Australian diesel is largely imported and carries a different excise and refining path from petrol, and demand is driven by freight rather than cars, so the two prices move on different cycles. What this page can tell you is the size of the gap today, not what it will be next month.

Is premium diesel worth it?

Premium diesel is 2.4c a litre more than standard here — 284.9c against 282.5c. Whether the detergent additives are worth it depends on your engine and how you drive; the price difference, at least, is small.

Which servo has the cheapest diesel in New South Wales?

Pearl Energy has the lowest typical diesel at 272.5c, then United Petroleum at 277.5c. The spread within any one brand is usually wider than the gap between brands, so check the sites near you rather than driving to a sign.
