Daily fuel prices by service station, Northern Territory, 2017 to 2024
liveDaily fuel prices reported under the Northern Territory's MyFuel NT scheme, one row per service station and day from 1 November 2017 to 1 December 2024, with brand, region, suburb, postcode, latitude and longitude and the price in cents per litre of diesel, premium 98 and 95, unleaded 91, premium diesel, LPG, low aromatic fuel, E85, E10 and B20. The Department of Treasury and Finance published the series as 84 monthly workbooks across 29 portal datasets, read here as one table.
Also called: MyFuel NT data, Darwin fuel prices history, Northern Territory petrol prices by day, NT fuel price monitoring.
- What is in each row?
- One service station on one day, with the station's brand, region, suburb, postcode and coordinates and the price in cents per litre of each fuel it sold, as reported to the MyFuel NT scheme. The publisher writes 0 where a station does not sell a fuel or did not report a price, and the word null in one row; those cells are null here.
- Why does the series stop in 2024?
- The Northern Territory Government published a workbook for each month from November 2017 to November 2024 and has released none since. The 84 workbooks are read as one table. A day at the boundary of two months appears in both workbooks and is kept once, and one workbook the publisher uploaded twice under two months' names is counted once. The publisher gives no station identifier, so two stations at one coordinate on one day can be told apart only by their prices.
- Are any days missing?
- The series has no rows for 17 days, which are 5 to 8 May 2020, 2 to 4 July 2020 and 11 to 20 May 2022. On 9 May 2020 and 21 May 2022 it has a row for one station only.
Made for agents
Connect your AI agent
Any agent that connects to publicdata.au/mcp can find this dataset, read its 29 fields, count and filter across all 578,504 rows and diff its versions. Every answer names the version and carries Treasury and Finance's attribution. No key.
Then ask it: What does Daily fuel prices by service station, Northern Territory, 2017 to 2024 hold, and what changed in the newest version?

Pick a format and a version. CSV is picked first because it opens in the tools most offices have. The URL is yours to keep. A dated version never changes.
In your own tools
Use it in Excel, R, Python and more
Excel and Power BI read the CSV from its address and refresh from it. The R and Python packages take any dataset on this site by its slug, so a new dataset needs no new release. The DuckDB file attaches read-only over HTTPS, and a query reads only the blocks it touches.
The dated URL in the code never changes. https://publicdata.au/d/nt-fuel-prices-history/latest/ redirects to the newest version.
https://publicdata.au/d/nt-fuel-prices-history/latest/data.csvIn Excel choose Data, then From Web, and paste this address. Excel keeps it, so Refresh All reads the newest version. A sheet holds about a million rows; past that, load the query to the Data Model.
https://publicdata.au/d/nt-fuel-prices-history/latest/data.csvIn Power BI Desktop choose Get data, then Web, paste this address and choose Anonymous when asked how to sign in. A scheduled refresh reads the same address, so the report follows each new version.

Query it without downloading
The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Build a query here and run it, then copy the URL or the code into your own work.
How filters work
Each filter is field=operator.value in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with ilike. Prefix not. to negate a filter, as not.eq.value.
| Operator | What it matches |
|---|---|
| eq.value | Equal to the value. |
| neq.value | Not equal to the value. A blank cell does not match. |
| gt.value | Greater than the value. |
| gte.value | Greater than or equal to the value. |
| lt.value | Less than the value. |
| lte.value | Less than or equal to the value. |
| like.*text* | Matches a pattern where * stands for any run of characters. Case-sensitive. |
| ilike.*text* | The same as like, ignoring case. |
| in.(a,b,c) | Equal to any value in the list. A value cannot contain a comma. |
| is.null | Blank in the source, or suppressed by the publisher. |
| Parameter | What it does |
|---|---|
| select | Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent. |
| order | field.asc or field.desc, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent. |
| limit | Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent. |
| offset | Rows to skip. The next URL in each answer sets it for you. |
| group | On aggregate, fields to group by, comma-separated. |
| metric | On aggregate, count, sum.field, avg.field, min.field or max.field, comma-separated. count when absent. |
| format | json, ndjson or csv. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers. |
Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put versions/<date>/ before rows or aggregate for an answer that never changes. /api/v1/datasets/<slug>/versions lists the loaded versions. The 1 newest version is loaded; versions lists them.
The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a Retry-After header, a RateLimit-Policy header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same RateLimit-Policy. A client should wait the Retry-After seconds, or read the files, which have no limit. openapi.json describes this dataset's query paths for client generators and agents.
https://publicdata.au/mcp is a remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP with the same tools, defined in the same place, so a tool added to the pages is added here too. It needs no key and no account. The row tools are held to the query API's limit of 60 queries in 10 seconds from one address, and each call is two queries because it also counts the matching rows. Add it to Claude Code with claude mcp add --transport http publicdata https://publicdata.au/mcp, add the URL in Claude as a custom connector, or give it to any client that connects to remote MCP servers. Each queryable dataset is also a resource at https://publicdata.au/d/<slug>/fields.json, which lists its fields with their types, the publisher's descriptions, their ranges and the values they hold, so an agent can read a dataset's shape before it writes a query.
Smaller files
The same rows split by a field, one JSON file each with a GeoJSON beside it. Each file carries the same provenance header.
By region_name (9 files)
by/region_name/index.json lists every file with its row count.

This site joins them by location against the ABS boundaries, https://publicdata.au/d/abs-sa2-2021/, https://publicdata.au/d/abs-lga-2025/, https://publicdata.au/d/abs-suburbs-localities-2021/, https://publicdata.au/d/abs-postal-areas-2021/, https://publicdata.au/d/abs-state-electoral-divisions-2025/, https://publicdata.au/d/abs-federal-electoral-divisions-2025/, and Treasury and Finance did not publish them. The schema marks each one as joined and names the boundary version. A row without coordinates, or a point outside every area, has them blank.
