About

Built for the Australian road.

FuelOracle is a fuel planning tool for Australian road trippers, caravanners, and overlanders. It works out exactly where to stop for fuel, how much to buy, and what it will cost - before you leave the driveway.

The problem it solves

Long-distance Australian road trips involve real fuel planning decisions. Outback legs can run 300–500 km between stations. Petrol prices vary by 30–40 cents per litre between towns. Towing a caravan changes your range in ways that gut-feel doesn't account for.

Most people handle this by guessing, over-filling at every stop, or spending 20 minutes with a spreadsheet before a big trip. FuelOracle automates that calculation: enter your route, your vehicle, and your starting fuel level, and it tells you the optimal stop sequence with estimated costs at each one.

How it works

FuelOracle plans trips using a combination of real-time government fuel price data, route calculations, and vehicle-specific fuel economy. It adjusts for towing weight and altitude changes along the route - factors that matter on multi-day trips across varied terrain.

Live fuel prices

Real prices from official government APIs across all major Australian states and territories.

Towing-aware

Separate economy profiles for solo and towing. Enforces legal tow speed limits in range calculations.

Altitude aware

Models elevation gain for more accurate fuel consumption on hilly routes.

Jerry can support

Tracks auxiliary fuel capacity and tells you when to draw on jerry cans to make the next station safely.

Offline-ready

Trip plans cache locally on your device. Works without mobile coverage once the trip is planned.

Trip sharing

Share a read-only link to your trip plan, or sync live progress with a passenger or co-driver.

How it's built

FuelOracle is a hosted web app accessible from any device at fueloracle.app. Your trip data is stored on servers we operate in Australia and is never sold or shared with third parties. Road trip data includes your home address, your route, and when you're away from home. That data should be yours - and we treat it that way.

Design principles

  • No advertising - ever. FuelOracle is funded by subscriptions, not your data.
  • No analytics or behavioural tracking. We don't know what features you use or how long you spend on each screen.
  • No dark patterns. The free tier is genuinely useful. Paid tiers add capability, not paywalled necessities.
  • Open about what we collect. The privacy policy describes the actual data, not a legal catch-all.
  • Safety first in the planning engine. The algorithm will never suggest a stop sequence that leaves you stranded, even if a cheaper option exists.

Who built it

FuelOracle started as a personal tool for planning towing trips with a caravan and grew into a full application when the planning problem turned out to be more interesting - and more unsolved - than expected.

Built by Australians for Australians. Every decision in the product is made with the same priorities a traveller would have - safety, accuracy, and no nonsense.
