Fuel Daddy goes nationwide: free, ad-free fuel price comparison in every Australian state and territory



Fuel Daddy, the independent fuel price comparison service, now covers every Australian state and territory, putting live prices at more than 8,200 service stations in front of drivers right across the country, free and without a single ad.

With South Australia now live, the map is complete: Queensland, New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, the Northern Territory and Tasmania. Drivers compare real-time prices without paying a cent, creating an account, or sitting through ads.

Fuel Daddy pulls live pricing straight from official government feeds and lays it over a fast, stripped-back interface for drivers who just want to know where the cheap fuel is. It covers unleaded, premium, diesel and E10, and runs on iOS and the web at fueldaddy.com.au.

The website is a full fuel-price toolkit, not just a map. Drivers get:

  • A live fuel map that auto-locates them and filters by fuel type or brand
  • Suburb and city pages for towns across the country, showing the cheapest stations nearby
  • 14-day price trend charts so drivers can time the price cycle in their region
  • A live outages tracker that flags stations which have run dry
  • Fuel cost calculators that show what a tank costs for popular cars
  • Costco fuel pages and a growing library of guides covering price cycles, E10 compatibility, octane ratings and fuel-saving tips

No banner ads. No pop-ups. No email sign-ups. No data harvesting. Open it, find cheap fuel nearby, drive.

"I built Fuel Daddy because every other fuel app I tried felt like it was working against me," said Mitchell, founder of Fuel Daddy. "Ads everywhere, accounts to create, notifications I didn't ask for. Drivers don't need any of that. They want a price, a location, and a way to get there. Keeping it free and simple costs me money to run, but it's worth it. I'd rather build something genuinely useful than chase quick revenue at the expense of the people using it."

National coverage caps nine months of steady expansion out from Fuel Daddy's Queensland base, state feed by state feed, to a live picture of pump prices coast to coast.

Running the service costs real money every month: infrastructure, data feeds, ongoing development. Rather than cover that with ads or by selling user data, Fuel Daddy earns through an optional subscription. Fuel Daddy Pro, A$4.99 a month, adds push notifications when prices drop at a driver's saved stations, plus advanced filtering. The core product stays free, ad-free and account-free, so price-conscious drivers never hit a paywall just to find cheaper fuel.

"The goal has always been to build something that lasts," Mitchell said. "That means being honest about what it costs to run, but never making people pay to use the basics."

Fuel Daddy is available now on the App Store and at fueldaddy.com.au.

At driving.com.au we field this question from Perth sellers constantly, and it usually lands as a genuine dilemma: do you list the car privately and chase the highest price, or take an instant offer and be done by the afternoon? Both are legitimate ways to sell, and both have a real cost...
