Fuel Prices

Fuel Prices finds reported station prices in supported regions and compares national or regional averages where available. For drivers, fleet operators and researchers, results include source names and price timestamps.

What you can do

find_stations — find nearby stations using coordinates, fuel type and radius
cheapest_fuel — rank returned stations by price
station_details — find the nearest station by coordinates; station-ID lookup supports the UK and Germany only
regional_prices — retrieve US state or EU country averages
price_trends — inspect weekly US price history, not Australian history
compare_countries — compare supported national averages in USD per litre

Australian fuel prices and data sources

The tool selects a source by location and available access. Each result names the source actually used.

NSW FuelCheck: government fuel data when its consumer key and secret are available. Check returned coverage and timestamps.
WA FuelWatch: today's Western Australian RSS prices; no separate source key.
Service Victoria Servo Saver: prices delayed by 24 hours; requires an authorised Consumer ID.
PetrolSpy: other Australian regions and a fallback when a selected government source is unavailable.

Example: "Find diesel within 5 km of -31.9523, 115.8613 in Perth. Show the cheapest returned stations, price units, update times and actual source. Flag stale prices."

A fallback is not a direct government response. Coverage and freshness depend on the source; confirm prices before travelling.

Credential-backed sources require the credentials listed below. Supported station searches also include the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Austria; US and EU aggregate data use separate skills.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I find nearby stations with live prices?

Yes. `find_stations` searches near a latitude and longitude and returns current station-level prices for the UK, Germany, and France.

Can it tell me the cheapest station nearby?

`cheapest_fuel` sorts nearby stations by price and shows the savings versus the most expensive option in the area.

Can I check one station in detail?

`station_details` returns full fuel prices, opening hours, brand, and amenities, and can also look up the nearest UK station from coordinates.

Does it cover regional averages and price trends too?

Yes. `regional_prices` covers US states and EU country averages, `price_trends` shows weekly U.S. history, and `compare_countries` normalizes prices to USD per litre.
