Melbourne petrol, diesel and fuel price guide

Melbourne fuel prices by suburb and grade

FuelRadar tracks 277 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 Premium 98 from 161.9 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 277 stations in this view across 8 tracked fuel grades, with a 108.0c/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.

Melbourne regional price spread

Common reporting brands in this area include LMCT+, Apco Service Stations, Metro Fuel, SINOPEC. Prices are sourced from Fair Fuel Plan and update as source feeds change.

Melbourne price timing should be read with the local cycle, not only the average. Usually cheapest on Wednesday is the current best-buy signal. Prices typically peak on Monday (+5.4¢) and bottom on Wednesday. Consider filling early in the week. Open the fuel map to compare the nearest stations, then use the fuel-type tables below to confirm whether Premium 98, diesel, premium or E10 is the better-priced grade today.
