Hey there
We are heading up to
Innamincka,
Birdsville then through
Windorah to the Coast after the
Silverton gathering.
Was trying to get a handle on current diesel prices around those parts if anyone has been there lately.
have tried looking for the old fuel pricing pages, which don't seem to be around anymore, which is a pity as they were quite good of kept updated by people traveling.

Hi Richard
When in
Birdsville, most people usually go to
Birdsville Auto, after all it is straight across the road from the Caravan Park and a very big concern. About a month ago Diesel there was $1.74 per litre. If you go around to the Main Street and not quite opposite the
Birdsville Hotel is Barry Gafney's
Mobil service station, where your diesel is only $1.70 per litre.
Have a great trip.
Cheers
Stephen

While
Innamincka is a bit more isolated than some of the other country towns, I'm not sure that they can really justify being 30 cents dearer than anyone else nearby.

Hi Garry
It is called tourism and popular demand. Where else can you buy fuel in
Innamincka, so they have everyone in the palms of their hands. Just like
William Creek and
Marree, they are milking the tourist, yet a little way down the track at
Lyndhurst, diesel was only $1.639 per litre, a savings of more than 30 cents per litre.
Cheers
Stephen

Innamincka just take the piss, from fuel to anything they sell in the store and the pub as
well. Great place to go as long as you bypass the profiteers.

Richard,
you have good cause to ask the question and the prices given by others are correct.
I chose to buy no fuel at
Marree and went on to
Lyndhurst to fuel.
Interestingly when I was in
Hawker the main servo was 5 cents a litre dearer and everyone was fueling there. Over the road was Chris's Mechanical, very clean and
well presented but it didn't have the big
bright lights.
Having large tanks I went from
Hawker via
Innamincka to
Quilpie and fueled at the
mobil depot, again they were 5 cents a litre cheaper than the servo.

Thanks to all who have replied. Exactly the information I was seeking. It's a pity that the old fuel pricing page seems to no longer be here on the site as I feel it was a very valuable addition depending on if people updated it regularly.
Perhaps David could bring it or a new improved version back, as it would be used I think by many people.
