Melbourne guide

Melbourne petrol, diesel and fuel price guide

The cheapest listed diesel in Melbourne is 164.9 c/L, but check the station update time before driving.

Melbourne fuel prices by suburb and grade

FuelRadar tracks 122 stations and 8 fuel grades across Melbourne, VIC. This page combines the live cheapest-station table, per-fuel low/average/high prices, nearby suburb comparisons and station update context so the headline price is not read in isolation.

Current lows by grade include Diesel from 164.9 c/L at LMCT+ Preston - (Members Only). Use these grade-specific rows when you need the cheapest listed fill-up for a particular vehicle, not just the cheapest station overall.

Why Melbourne price data is useful

Fair Fuel Plan gives Melbourne a clearer station-level feed than a broad city average alone. That matters during a price reset because nearby stations can move at different times. Use the city average as context, then treat the station update time as the final freshness check before driving.

Melbourne currently has 122 stations in this view across 8 tracked fuel grades, with a 101.0c/L spread between the cheapest and highest listed station. That spread is the number to check before a detour: a wide spread can justify crossing a suburb boundary, while a narrow spread usually favours the closest current station.
