The long stretch on this drive
The longest gap between listed stations on this corridor is about 85 km, between Ouse, TAS and Derwent Bridge, TAS, starting about 90 km in. Most cars clear that on a full tank, so it is a stretch to be aware of rather than one to plan around.
Reported ULP 91 prices on this road range from $2.38/L at North Hobart, TAS to $2.65/L at Derwent Bridge, TAS — a spread of 26.7c a litre. On a 60 litre fill that is $16.02 between the best and worst place to stop.

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 | 24 L | Yes |
| Mid-size SUV60 L tank, 8.0 L/100km | 563 km | 29 L | Yes |
| Ute or 4WD80 L tank, 9.5 L/100km | 632 km | 34 L | Yes |
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 Hobart to Strahan?
- It is about 302 km by road, roughly 5 hours 20 minutes of driving before stops.
- Can you drive Hobart to Strahan 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 makes the trip without refuelling. A mid-size SUV (60 L tank, 8.0 L/100km) has an estimated real-world range of about 563 km, so it makes the trip without refuelling. A ute or 4WD (80 L tank, 9.5 L/100km) has an estimated real-world range of about 632 km, so it makes the trip without refuelling. These use real-world consumption, about 20% above the lab figure, and hold back a reserve.
- Where is the cheapest fuel between Hobart and Strahan?
- In the latest fresh reports, the cheapest ULP 91 on this corridor is $2.38/L at Ampol Brooker in North Hobart, about 0 km into the drive. Prices can change before you arrive.
- How far off this road is cheap fuel worth driving for?
- At the 26.7c spread currently listed between North Hobart, TAS and Derwent Bridge, TAS, a 60 litre fill at the cheap end saves about $16.02. For a car using around 9.6 L/100km that pays for roughly 37.9 km each way off the route before the detour has eaten the saving — and that is fuel only, not the time.
- Should you fill up before leaving Hobart?
- On current reports, yes. Fuel averages about 7.4c a litre more in the last third of this drive than in the first, so leaving Hobart on a full tank buys the cheaper fuel while it is still around you.
