NSW Fuel Prices – Week of 13 April 2026

NSW drivers caught a genuine break this week. Metro U91 dropped 12c to land at 210.5 c/L, the second consecutive weekly fall, and every fuel type tracked followed suit. Whether you're running on E10, diesel, or premium, prices moved meaningfully in your favour.

NSW Fuel Prices This Week: Metro vs Rural Snapshot

Rural drivers are still paying noticeably more. At 219.6 c/L for U91, that's a 9.1c gap over metro. On a 60-litre tank, you're paying roughly $5.50 extra just because of where you live. The falls are real and welcome, but the city-country divide remains stubbornly wide.

Biggest Movers in NSW Petrol Prices This Week

P98 led the charge down, shedding 12.3c in metro to reach 235.2 c/L. E10 was close behind at 208.2 c/L after an 11.7c fall, making it the cheapest fuel available this week. If your car accepts E10, this is your best option right now.

U91 fell a solid 12c to 210.5 c/L. Crucially, this is the second straight week of falls, which suggests downward momentum rather than a one-off blip.

The daily trend data tells a clean story. Metro U91 started the week at 218c on Monday the 13th and slid consistently each day, reaching 203.4c by Sunday the 19th. No mid-week spike, no sudden reversal. That kind of steady descent is relatively rare and it rewarded patient drivers who waited.

Diesel fell 9.3c to 309.4 c/L in metro, but it's still sitting a massive 98.9c above U91. That's a significant load for anyone running a diesel vehicle or business fleet, even with the weekly improvement factored in.

NSW Metro Station Price Range: How Much You Can Save by Shopping Around

The spread between the cheapest and priciest metro stations this week is extraordinary. Metro Fuel Metro Milperra was logging 89.9 c/L, while the Independent Douglas Park Service Station was charging 274.9 c/L. That's an 185c gap. On a 60-litre fill, the difference is over $111. This is exactly why checking before you drive matters.

Among major brands, ASTRON averaged 200.9c and Arko Energy 202.3c, while Mobil averaged 217.3c and Caltex 213.3c. A difference of more than 16c between the cheapest and priciest brands on metro U91 is well worth paying attention to.

When Was the Cheapest Day to Fill Up Last Week?

Last Sunday, 19 April, was the cheapest day to fill up in metro NSW, with U91 sitting at 203.4 c/L. That was more than 14c cheaper than the Monday the week began. If you filled up early in the week, you paid a real premium. Filing this away for next time is sound advice.

NSW Metro Petrol Price Forecast: Next Three Days

Metro U91 is forecast to dip slightly before ticking back up. Tomorrow (Monday 20 April) is tipped to come in at 207.3 c/L, below the current average of 210.5 c/L, before edging up to 210.2 c/L on Tuesday and 211.4 c/L on Wednesday. Confidence levels drop from 77% to 61% across those three days. If you need to fill up soon, Monday looks like the pick of the short-term window.

On the national stage, NSW metro U91 at 210.5 c/L sits just 0.5c above the national metro average of 210 c/L, which puts NSW roughly in the middle of the pack. WA leads the country at 204.4 c/L while VIC is the most expensive at 214.2 c/L.

How to Save on Fuel in NSW Right Now

Prices are falling and momentum is on drivers' side, but the gap between cheap and expensive stations in this state is genuinely enormous. Filling up at a cheaper brand station rather than a default Caltex or Mobil could save you 13c per litre or more. With metro U91's 30-day low recorded at 89.9 c/L and the current price at 210.5 c/L, there's clearly a wide range of what's possible depending on where and when you fill up.
