Live government data
beats outdated boards
The real problem
Your fill-up keeps costing more than it should.
- You drive past stations without knowing who is cheapest today.
- Prices move through cycles — easy to fill at the wrong time.
- Comparing apps and boards takes longer than the stop itself.

FAQ
Common questions
Quick answers about how Petrol Australia works.
Is the Petrol Australia app free?
Yes — Petrol Australia is free to download, with no ads and no hidden fees. Optional paid memberships may be offered later; we'll always be clear about what's included before you pay.
Which states are covered and where do prices come from?
Live prices use official government feeds across all Australian states and territories — including My Fuel NT for the Northern Territory.
Is my location data safe?
Your home location is encrypted with AES-256. The encryption key is stored separately in a secure vault and only accessible within the database — never sent to your device or third parties.
How do I download Petrol Australia?
Download free on the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Was AI used to build the Petrol Australia app?
Yes, and heavily. What matters more is what the code has to survive before it reaches your phone: a written specification approved before anything is built, a failing test written before every fix, 2,639 automated tests and a strict type check that must pass, a numbered and reversible migration for every database change, and a server-side switch on every feature.
What makes us different — the full process, the numbers behind it, and what isn't finished yet.
What notifications can I get?
Price alerts — watch one station and fuel type; you are notified when the pump price hits your target. Price alerts guide
Price-cycle alerts — optional pushes based on the weekly cycle near your saved home location: drop incoming, buy now, and top up before rise. Notifications guide
Quiet hours (default 9 PM–7 AM) apply to both. Cycle alerts need a saved home location in Profile.
