Petrol prices in South Australia.
Regional SA petrol prices are reported in real time under South Australia’s Fuel Pricing Information Scheme, exactly as Adelaide’s are – the scheme covers the whole state. This page tracks the ABS Rest of SA region: every reporting station outside Greater Adelaide, from the Copper Coast to the far outback.
Is petrol cheaper in Adelaide or regional SA?
As at day’s end on 12 July 2026, regional SA’s median Unleaded 91 price of 177.9 c/L sits 14.0 c/L above Greater Adelaide’s 163.9 c/L. The gap isn’t fixed: Adelaide runs a price cycle and regional SA doesn’t, so the difference moves week to week.

Day’s-end figures from official SA Fuel Pricing Information Scheme data – every reporting station inside the ABS boundaries (Greater Adelaide; Rest of SA), median not mean, one station one vote. How these figures are calculated. The live station board for the capital is on the Adelaide page; the app carries every station in SA live.
Are petrol prices in regional SA going up or down?
Steady this week – regional SA’s Unleaded 91 median has moved less than 2 c/L over the past seven days and sits at 177.9 c/L. Regional SA doesn’t move in one region-wide price cycle the way a capital does – prices differ town to town, and the gap between stations is where the saving is.
How pricing works in regional SA
South Australia’s scheme, administered by Consumer and Business Services, requires real-time price reporting from stations across the whole state, and publishes the data for apps like FuelNow to carry rather than shipping its own. A regional SA price in the app is station-reported, never estimated.
Regional SA’s station network thins out fast with distance – a few hundred reporting stations cover an area bigger than France and Germany combined – so the spread between the cheapest and most expensive station is wide, and the town-by-town view matters more than any single number. FuelNow shows every reporting station on one map.
