Where the cheap fuel is in Sydney
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Croydon Park | $2.23/L | $2.21/L | 4 |
| Earlwood | $2.24/L | $2.19/L | 4 |
| Croydon | $2.26/L | $2.24/L | 3 |
| Canterbury | $2.26/L | $2.26/L | 2 |
| Campsie | $2.27/L | $2.26/L | 3 |
| Mascot | $2.28/L | $2.27/L | 2 |
| Dee Why | $2.29/L | $2.29/L | 2 |
| Marrickville | $2.29/L | $2.27/L | 3 |
| Belmore | $2.30/L | $2.26/L | 4 |
| Arncliffe | $2.31/L | $2.29/L | 2 |
The dearest suburb averages are Belrose at $2.45/L, Kingsford at $2.44/L and Mosman at $2.44/L. That is 21.5c a litre between the dearest and cheapest suburb averages here, or $12.90 on a 60 litre fill.
Inside 7 km: $2.40. Beyond it: $2.36
67 stations inside 7 km of the centre, 147 between there and 15 km out, and 4.0c a litre between their averages — the inner ring the dearer of the two today. That is a real gap, though still smaller than the spread inside most single suburbs above.
