The long stretch on this drive
The longest gap between listed stations on this corridor is about 185 km, between Southern Cross, WA and Coolgardie, WA, starting about 370 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.

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 | 46 L | No — 1 stop |
| Mid-size SUV60 L tank, 8.0 L/100km | 563 km | 57 L | No — 1 stop |
| Ute or 4WD80 L tank, 9.5 L/100km | 632 km | 68 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 Perth to Kalgoorlie?
- It is about 594 km by road, roughly 6 hours 47 minutes of driving before stops.

- 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 1 stop. 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 1 stop. 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.

- At the 40.2c spread currently listed between Ascot, WA and Coolgardie, WA, a 60 litre fill at the cheap end saves about $24.12. For a car using around 9.6 L/100km that pays for roughly 57.1 km each way off the route before the detour has eaten the saving — and that is fuel only, not the time.
