Filling 60 litres at the cheapest station on this route instead of an average one saves about $12.54 — before you count the detour to reach it.
The long stretch on this drive
The longest gap between listed stations on this corridor is about 345 km, between Cloncurry, QLD and Winton, QLD, starting about 125 km in. That is far enough to need planning rather than noticing. Plenty of cars cover it from full — but nobody arrives at the far end of a stretch like that full, so what matters is what is in the tank when you reach the start of it. Fill before it, not after.
Reported ULP 91 prices on this road range from $2.19/L at Annerley, QLD to $2.78/L at Winton, QLD — a spread of 58.4c a litre. On a 60 litre fill that is $35.04 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 | 142 L | No — 3 stops |
| Mid-size SUV60 L tank, 8.0 L/100km | 563 km | 175 L | No — 3 stops |
| Ute or 4WD80 L tank, 9.5 L/100km | 632 km | 208 L | No — 2 stops |
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.
