LPG prices across Australia
LPG autogas is one of the cheapest motor fuels available in Australia on a per-litre basis — typically around half the price of U91. For drivers with LPG-converted or factory bi-fuel vehicles, finding the nearest LPG station with the best price is the primary challenge, and Refuelr maps them all.
What is LPG autogas?
LPG stands for liquefied petroleum gas. When used as automotive fuel it is referred to as autogas, and consists primarily of propane and butane. It is stored as a liquid under pressure in a vehicle-mounted tank and vaporised at the point of injection. LPG burns more cleanly than petrol, producing lower CO2 and particulate emissions.
LPG has a lower energy density than petrol — vehicles typically consume around 20–25% more LPG by volume than the equivalent petrol journey. Even accounting for this higher consumption, LPG vehicles almost always achieve a lower fuel cost per kilometre than petrol, given the significant price differential.
Which cars use LPG?
LPG vehicles in Australia fall into two categories: factory-fitted bi-fuel vehicles, and aftermarket LPG conversions. Factory bi-fuel vehicles were common in the 1990s and 2000s — Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore were the most widely converted models in Australia before production ended. Many taxis and high-mileage commercial vehicles were converted to LPG during this period.
Aftermarket LPG conversions remain legal in Australia and are performed by licensed LPG conversion specialists. The economics of conversion depend on the vehicle's annual mileage — higher-mileage drivers recoup the conversion cost faster through ongoing fuel savings.

LPG station availability across Australia
LPG station numbers have declined significantly over the past decade as the national LPG vehicle fleet aged and government subsidies for conversions ended. Coverage is strongest in South Australia, Western Australia, and Queensland — states with historically higher LPG vehicle penetration. Metropolitan coverage in Sydney and Melbourne is reasonable; regional and rural coverage is patchy.
Refuelr maps LPG stations from official government feeds across all states that report LPG pricing — including NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, and NT — refreshed every 30 minutes. Filtering by LPG on the station map shows only stations currently selling autogas in your area.
