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 | 43 L | No — 1 stop |
| Mid-size SUV60 L tank, 8.0 L/100km | 563 km | 53 L | Yes |
| Ute or 4WD80 L tank, 9.5 L/100km | 632 km | 63 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 Sydney to Albury?
- It is about 552 km by road, roughly 5 hours 36 minutes of driving before stops.
- Can you drive Sydney to Albury 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 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 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 Sydney and Albury?
- In the latest fresh reports, the cheapest ULP 91 on this corridor is $2.19/L at TEMCO Petroleum in Greenacre, about 25 km into the drive. Prices can change before you arrive.
- How far off this road is cheap fuel worth driving for?
- At the 37.2c spread currently listed between Greenacre, NSW and Edgecliff, NSW, a 60 litre fill at the cheap end saves about $22.32. For a car using around 9.6 L/100km that pays for roughly 52.8 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 Sydney?
- On current reports, yes. Fuel averages about 4c a litre more in the last third of this drive than in the first, so leaving Sydney on a full tank buys the cheaper fuel while it is still around you.
- Is diesel cheaper than petrol on this drive?
- No. Along this corridor diesel is averaging about 42.9c a litre more than ULP 91 in the latest fresh reports.
