Pay less at the pump

Nobody wants to pay more than they need to for fuel. That's why we closely monitor fuel prices and offer free fuel advice.

Get real-time fuel prices, straight from the source

Find the best fuel prices near you with our real-time fuel price map available online or on the myRAA app.

Our real-time fuel prices come straight from the petrol station. When petrol stations make a price change at the pump, they must supply their changes within 30 minutes and we share them straight away.

Plus, search to see the best prices in your area and map your route for the best deals every day.

The service is free to use for all South Australians – even if you’re not an RAA member.

After more than two years lobbying the government for greater transparency around fuel pricing, RAA is thrilled with the result of our efforts.

Follow the ups and downs of SA fuel prices

Want to follow the price cycle yourself? Here’s a super quick guide to how it works…

Petrol is at its cheapest about 10 to 30 days after a peak. So if you see the cost per litre suddenly jump, try and hold out for a week or so when you’ll see lower pump prices start to appear. If you’re running near empty, now’s a good time to do a mini top-up to get you through to the cheapest point in the cycle. However, prices should go down further.

Wait a few more days and prices are likely to drop even more. At that point, fill your tank to the brim before prices suddenly rise again.

Adelaide daily average fuel prices

We publish weekly price charts for the avid watcher, see below.

Adelaide fuel prices vs South Australian country fuel prices

Unlike the city, country prices don’t jump up and down too much. So when prices spike in Adelaide, you’ll actually find cheaper prices in regional areas and vice versa. If you’re heading out of your local town, check the average price in locations along your route so that you can stop in at the cheapest spot along the way.

As prices don’t vary too much, it’s even more important to take advantage of lower costs, as this encourages other servos to potentially lower their pump price too.
