Where the cheap fuel is in Adelaide
Suburbs with at least two stations reporting fresh ULP 91, cheapest average first. One pump is not a pattern, so single-station suburbs are left out.
| Suburb | Average ULP 91 | Cheapest in it | Stations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edwardstown | $2.15/L | $2.10/L | 3 |
| St Marys | $2.18/L | $2.16/L | 2 |
| Marion | $2.18/L | $2.15/L | 2 |
| Klemzig | $2.21/L | $2.21/L | 2 |
| Blair Athol | $2.23/L | $2.21/L | 4 |
| Nailsworth | $2.23/L | $2.23/L | 2 |

| Darlington | $2.23/L | $2.20/L | 2 |
| Windsor Gardens | $2.24/L | $2.21/L | 2 |
| Kilburn | $2.24/L | $2.21/L | 4 |
The dearest suburb averages are Cavan at $2.36/L, Dry Creek at $2.36/L and Fulham at $2.35/L. That is 21.4c a litre between the dearest and cheapest suburb averages here, or $12.84 on a 60 litre fill.
Inside 7 km: $2.28. Beyond it: $2.27
77 stations inside 7 km of the centre, 119 between there and 15 km out, and 0.9c a litre between their averages — the inner ring the dearer of the two today. That is less than the spread inside most single suburbs above, so the servo matters more than the postcode.
