Petrol prices in the Northern Territory.
Regional NT petrol prices are locked daily under MyFuel NT, exactly as Darwin’s are – since 20 April 2026 every reporting station’s price locks from 6am for 24 hours and can drop during the day but can’t go up, and tomorrow’s prices are published at 2:30pm today. This page tracks the ABS Rest of NT region: every reporting station outside Greater Darwin, from Katherine to Alice Springs.

As at day’s end on 12 July 2026, regional NT’s median Unleaded 91 price of 245.0 c/L sits 72.1 c/L above Greater Darwin’s 172.9 c/L. Within the region, the spread between towns matters far more than the gap to Darwin.

Day’s-end figures from official MyFuel NT data – every reporting station inside the ABS boundaries (Greater Darwin; Rest of NT), median not mean, one station one vote. How these figures are calculated. The live station board for the capital is on the Darwin page; the app carries every station in the NT live.
How pricing works in regional NT
MyFuel NT has required mandatory price reporting across the whole Territory since 1 November 2017, and since 20 April 2026 it works like WA’s FuelWatch everywhere: tomorrow’s prices are published at 2:30pm, take effect at 6am, hold for 24 hours, and can drop during the day but can’t go up. A driver in Alice Springs gets tomorrow’s price with the same certainty a Darwin driver does.
Coverage runs to the remote outlets where Opal low aromatic fuel replaces regular unleaded – a federally subsidised 91-octane fuel that FuelNow shows as the station’s unleaded price, matching the NT government’s own treatment. Distances drive the spread: town prices and remote roadhouse prices can sit more than a dollar a litre apart – one number can’t describe that, so the page shows the full spread.
