## What is Petrol Australia?

Stop guessing where the cheapest petrol is. Petrol Australia shows live fuel prices at servos across the country - finds the cheapest fuel along your route - and alerts you when a cheaper one appears near you.

Every major fuel type, updated continuously from official state fuel feeds and authoritative industry data, so you never overpay at the bowser again.

WHY DRIVERS PICK PETROL AUSTRALIA

• Live prices, not yesterday's, straight from official state fuel feeds
• Fill up cheap on the way - the best-value servo along your route, not just near home
• Discounts calculated for you - your real price, not the sticker price
• A proper record for every car you own - trips, fill-ups, odometer and rego
• Fast, ad-free, and built for the way Australians actually drive

KEY FEATURES

LIVE PRICE MAP
Servos near you on a clean, fast map with current prices for your fuel. Filter by brand, distance or price. Tap any station for every grade, plus phone number, opening hours and AdBlue.

STATION INSIGHTS
See where a servo ranks in your state, how today's price sits against its recent range, and which day of the week usually runs cheapest there.

COMBINED FUEL VIEWS
Compare Unleaded 91 with E10, Premium 95 with 98, or Diesel with Premium Diesel in one view. Each station is ranked on its cheaper grade and labels which fuel the price belongs to.

ROUTE PLANNER
Drop in your start and destination and we'll find the cheapest fuel stops along the way - not a detour to the middle of nowhere. Set how far off-route you'll go, see the cost, saving, distance and CO₂ for each stop, then navigate in one tap. Save home, work and the in-laws for next time.

YOUR VEHICLES
Add your cars and each gets its own dashboard: what it spent, saved, drove and emitted over the period you choose, plus a log of its trips, fill-ups and odometer readings. Store the rego expiry and we'll remind you before it's due.

FUEL LOG
Log a fill-up in seconds - amount, litres, price - and see what you spent and saved. Note why you drove, and save the reasons you reuse.

TRIP HISTORY
Every planned trip logged: what you spent, saved, drove and emitted, totalled over the last month, three months, or further back.

DISCOUNTS
Add your memberships in Profile → Preferences → Discounts and we do the maths, so every price you see anywhere in the app is what you actually pay. More clubs coming soon.

PRICE ALERTS
Get told when prices drop near home - your block, your suburb, your commute. Or tap the bell on any station and set a target price.

COMPARE STATIONS
Stack two servos side by side and see what you'd save on a tank, not just cents per litre. Cheaper-but-further or closer-but-pricier? We'll tell you.

FAVOURITES AND WIDGETS
Save the servos you actually fill up at. Pin the cheapest near you, or one favourite, to your home screen and see live prices without opening the app.

APPLE CARPLAY
Plug in and your nearest and cheapest servos appear on the dash - real prices with your discounts included, re-ranked live as you drive.

REPORT A STATION
Wrong price? Wrong opening hours? Tap Report and tell us. Real drivers keep the map honest.

NATIONWIDE COVERAGE
Live prices across NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, NT and the ACT - every state and territory.

EVERY MAJOR FUEL TYPE
Unleaded 91, Premium ULP 95 and 98, E10, Diesel, Premium Diesel and LPG. Pick your fuel once and every price you see is tailored to your tank.

PRIVACY-FIRST
Your location is only used to show prices near you. Anonymous crash data keeps the app stable, never linked to you. We don't sell personal data.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.16 — 2026-09-04

Know what each car costs you.

+ Every Car, Its Own Screen - Tap a vehicle and you get its page: what it has spent, saved, driven and emitted, over the period you choose. Pick a figure and the chart below redraws to it.

+ The Vehicle Log - One feed of everything that happened to that car - trips, fuel logs and odometer readings - filtered to the kinds you want to see. Tap any row for the detail.

+ Odometer, When You're Standing There - Add a reading when you add the car, log fuel, start a trip or finish one - or any time from the car's own screen. Always optional, never in your way. Type a number that looks wrong and we'll say so, then let you save it anyway.

+ Forgot One? - Add a missed reading later. One skipped fill-up doesn't break the chain, and a reading stays on the record even if you delete the trip you took it on.

+ Why You Drove - Trips and fuel logs now carry a Purpose, in your own words. Set it before you leave, confirm it when you get back, fix it later from the history. Apostrophes, dollar amounts and accented names all come through exactly as you typed them.

+ Purposes You Reuse - Save the ones that repeat, each with a short title, and pick one in a tap from any Purpose field. Keep the purpose you just typed without typing it twice. Manage the list in Preferences - and it's there at the bowser even with no signal.

+ Cars That Keep Their History - Remove a car that has readings or trips against it and we archive it, so the record survives. Archived cars are still readable.

+ Nearby Remembers - Cheapest, Nearest or Favourites now sits on the header, and the app comes back the way you left it.

+ Bug Fixes & Polish - Bugs shown the door, a few dozen pixels talked into line, and one keyboard finally asked to sit down. Housekeeping, basically.

One car or four. Know what each one costs.

### 1.0.15 — 2026-08-29

More ways to compare fuel. Better records for every car.

+ Combined Fuel Views - View Unleaded 91 with E10, Premium 95 with 98, or Diesel with Premium Diesel in one view. Each station is ranked on its cheaper available grade and clearly labels which fuel the price belongs to.

+ Which Car Was That? - Trips and fuel logs now record the vehicle they belong to, selected in Trip details and the Log Fuel sheet. Business or personal, per car.

+ Fix It On The Way Home - Took the other car? Change the vehicle while a trip is still running, right on the "did you fill up?" sheet.

+ Fuel Type Per Car - Each vehicle now carries its own fuel type, chosen from the same list you see everywhere else in the app.

+ Rego Assist, Explained - Tap the (i) and we tell you exactly when we'll nudge you: 14 days out, 7 days out, on the due date, and once more a week later if it still isn't renewed.

+ Bug Fixes & Polish - Bugs squashed, pixels nudged, a few things that were almost right made properly right. Nothing you'll notice - which is the point.

Pick the car. Compare the grades. Pay less.

### 1.0.14 — 2026-08-22

Your car, front and centre.

+ Rego Reminders - Add your registration expiry once and we'll nudge you two weeks out, a week out, on the day, and once more if it slips past. Set it and forget it, for a whole year.

+ My Vehicle - Your car now has a face on your Profile: custom artwork, your plate, and a ring that quietly counts down to renewal.

+ Make & Model - Picking your car is a proper picker now, not two blank boxes. Make, model and year land where they should, and your nickname fills itself in.

+ Vehicles, Redesigned - The Vehicles screen leads with your preferred car in the same artwork and countdown as your Profile, with the rest below it and Add always within reach.

+ Report a Station - Wrong price? Wrong opening hours? Tap Report on any station and tell us. Real drivers keep the map honest.

+ Route From a Station - Found a good servo? Start a trip straight from it, origin pre-filled, fuel stop already chosen. Round trips - there and back - plan properly too.

+ More Station Details - Opening hours and AdBlue now cover more of the independents, and stray map pins get quarantined before they reach your results.

+ Bug Fixes & Polish - Keyboards behaving, sheets sitting still, prices staying put. The unglamorous half of the work.

Know your car. Know your price.

### 1.0.13 — 2026-07-29

Know when to fill. Log what you paid.

+ Fuel Log - Tap the bowser in the bottom menu bar (or on any station) to log a fill-up. Amount, litres, price - done in seconds. Your fuel stops land in Trip History alongside planned routes.

+ Station Insights - Open any station and see where it ranks in your state, and how today's price sits against its recent range.

+ Best Day to Buy - Built from historic prices so you can see which day of the week usually runs cheapest. Some stations will surprise you, their best day isn't the same as the servo down the road.

+ Profile & Onboarding - A clearer home for members - vehicles, quick actions, and year-to-date fuel stats. Guests and non-members get redesigned flows too, plus a fresher onboarding tour.

+ Bug Fixes & Polish - Crashes caught, sheets steadied, a few rough edges sanded down. Quiet work. Steady gains.

Fill smarter. Drive further.

### 1.0.12 — 2026-07-15

Fuel stops, now on the big screen.

+ Apple CarPlay - Your nearest and cheapest servos, real prices and member discounts included, right on the dash. Plug in and drive.

+ Price Alerts - Set a target price on any station and we'll let you know the moment it drops below it. Just tap the bell on a station to arm it.

+ Station Details, Upgraded - Phone numbers, opening hours, and AdBlue availability now shown for thousands of stations across Australia.

+ Northern Territory - Live fuel prices have reached the Top End. That's every state and territory covered.

+ Bug Fixes & Polish – Small fixes. Smoother experience. Better reliability. The kind of update you don't notice until it's missing.

Every state. Every territory. Every cent counted.
