How much does petrol cost?Mighty2022-04-08T14:13:07+10:00

How much does petrol cost?

If you’re coming from Europe, you’ll find our petrol prices quite affordable. Unleaded fuel is currently $1.35 – $1.85/litre in populated areas, and leaded and diesel are each within $.05. In more remote areas, petrol prices do rise and they follow the laws of supply and demand. However, even in the most remote areas it’s still about half price when compared to European prices.
