The long stretch on this drive
The longest gap between listed stations on this corridor is about 190 km, between Norseman, WA and Fraser Range, WA, starting about 720 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 $2.15/L at Ascot, WA to $3.16/L at Nullarbor Roadhouse, SA — a spread of 101.5c a litre. On a 60 litre fill that is $60.90 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 | 307 L | No — 7 stops |
| Mid-size SUV60 L tank, 8.0 L/100km | 563 km | 378 L | No — 6 stops |
| Ute or 4WD80 L tank, 9.5 L/100km | 632 km | 449 L | No — 6 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.
