Every fuel stop sorted before you leave.
FuelOracle works out where to stop, how much to buy at each one, and what the drive will cost. The rest of the trip is yours.
It all began with my own QLD-to-NT trip.
Planning it took weeks. I had a spreadsheet with every place I could buy diesel between the Gold Coast and Katherine, a column of prices I'd checked by hand across three different apps, and a fuel economy figure that was really two guesses stacked - what I get on a good run unhitched, plus what I reckoned the van added on top. I tried the trip planners too. They all wanted the same thing: pick your litres per hundred, and here's a list of stops. But the number I typed in was a guess, and nothing corrected it - no wind, no hills, no allowance for what the van actually does to you at 100. Just a raw figure carried the whole way to Katherine.
FuelOracle is way smarter than that.
Real legs, elevation and wind from the June 2026 crossing. Arrows point the way the wind was blowing, relative to travel. Amber marks the longest run without fuel, 572 km.
Rule one: don't strand the driver.
Six waypoints, a van on the back, and two legs that look long on the map. Working it out by hand means a fuel figure you guessed and a distance you rounded.
FuelOracle plans the whole route in one go. Every stop, the litres to buy at each, and a total for the drive. Change your mind about a camp and it does the lot again.
Not a full tank. Enough to reach the cheaper fuel at Tennant Creek with your reserve intact.
No modelled economy survives a real drive. The wind was not what the forecast said, and by the third leg a fixed plan is describing a trip you are not on.
Tap I filled up and enter what you actually put in and actually paid. The planner re-solves every leg ahead from your real gauge reading and your real position.
Do that five times and it stops guessing at your economy altogether. It works out what your rig really drinks from your own fill-ups and calibrates the towing model to that.
The bowsers are bagged, there is a note on the door, and the next fuel is another 180 km up the road. This is the moment that decides whether the trip was planned or hoped.
You are still fine, because the margin was never spent. The planner will not build a leg that finishes below your reserve, and it counts your jerry cans as real fuel.
Don't strand the driver. Every leg must finish with your reserve still in the tank, and nothing in the planner is allowed to trade that away for a cheaper stop.
The trip is done and the question everyone asks at the caravan park is what the fuel came to. Usually the answer is a shrug and a rough guess.
Every trip you plan stays on your Trip Atlas and provided as a Trip Report. Where you went and what it cost, so next year's version starts from this year's.
No other tool got it right.
Fuel lookup apps tell you a fuel price in a location, but can't know if you'll make it. Your best guess of fuel economy goes out the window with a bad headwind. Everything cautious about FuelOracle is cautious because of something that has happened on a trip, from the roadhouse that was closed on arrival to the leg where the estimate proved optimistic into a westerly. That QLD to NT run came to 9,462 km towing, 31 fuel stops and 1,726 litres. Every lesson learnt went into FuelOracle.
