Will your tank make it?
Range here uses real-world consumption — about 20% above the lab figure most cars are advertised with — and holds back a reserve rather than running you to the last drop.
| Vehicle | Real range | Fuel used | One tank? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small car45 L tank, 6.5 L/100km | 513 km | 90 L | No — 2 stops |
| Mid-size SUV60 L tank, 8.0 L/100km | 563 km | 111 L | No — 2 stops |
| Ute or 4WD80 L tank, 9.5 L/100km | 632 km | 132 L | No — 1 stop |
Your car is not one of these three. Use your actual make and model in the planner above and OTW works it out from the manufacturer's figures and how much fuel you have right now. If you have measured your own fuel use, you can calculate your L/100 km.

Common questions
- How far is it from Broken Hill to Sydney?
- It is about 1154 km by road, roughly 13 hours 55 minutes of driving before stops.
- Can you drive Broken Hill to Sydney on one tank?
- A small car (45 L tank, 6.5 L/100km) has an estimated real-world range of about 513 km, so it needs at least 2 stops. A mid-size SUV (60 L tank, 8.0 L/100km) has an estimated real-world range of about 563 km, so it needs at least 2 stops. A ute or 4WD (80 L tank, 9.5 L/100km) has an estimated real-world range of about 632 km, so it needs at least 1 stop. These use real-world consumption, about 20% above the lab figure, and hold back a reserve.
- Where is the cheapest fuel between Broken Hill and Sydney?

- How far off this road is cheap fuel worth driving for?
- At the 55.2c spread currently listed between Greenacre, NSW and Narromine, NSW, a 60 litre fill at the cheap end saves about $33.12. For a car using around 9.6 L/100km that pays for roughly 78.4 km each way off the route before the detour has eaten the saving — and that is fuel only, not the time.
