How these numbers are worked out. Every figure is the median price across every priced diesel site in Queensland, 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 Queensland?

The typical (median) diesel price is 279.9c a litre, with most sites between 268.5c and 294.9c, across 1,021 sites priced in the last 72 hours as at 27 October 2026, 9:15am.

Why is diesel more expensive than petrol?

Diesel is 41.0c a litre above ULP 91 in Queensland right now — $20 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 4.0c a litre more than standard here — 283.9c against 279.9c. 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 Queensland?

Pearl Energy has the lowest typical diesel at 269.5c, then Liberty at 272.8c. 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.
