When is fuel cheapest in Melbourne?
Melbourne has had no active price cycle lately (the last restoration started Mon 21 Sept): its Diesel prices are following wholesale costs and the recent trend, so they tend to move a week or two after the terminal gate price.
On Fri 13 Nov the national terminal gate (wholesale) price was 247.1 c/L and the Melbourne city average 267.2 c/L, 20.1 c/L above it.
No weekday was the cheapest in most of the last 11 full weeks to : the Diesel weekday averages in Melbourne were within 0.9 c/L of each other once the overall price movement is removed.

How does FuelRadar make the forecast?
FuelRadar has helped Australian drivers find cheaper fuel since 2020. Each estimate starts from Melbourne's reported daily city averages and how they have moved recently. A city daily average is FuelRadar's scheduled morning average of the city's reported station prices, the figure this page quotes for every capital. Where a city has a regular price cycle, the estimate projects that cycle; elsewhere it follows the recent trend, blended with the latest dated wholesale price change. These are Melbourne city averages, not a separate Niddrie North forecast. The likely range widens with each day ahead.
Next-day estimates missed by 0.9 c/L on average over the 30 days to 14 Nov, about the same as assuming prices stay the same (0.9 c/L).

Estimate only: Diesel in Niddrie North is estimated to edge down about 1.8 c/L, to 262.0 c/L by Mon 23 Nov (likely 254.5–282.1), from 263.8 c/L reported Mon 16 Nov. The dated 30-day forecast shows a likely range, not a promised low date. Check current station prices before changing when you fill.
What is the best day to buy Diesel in Niddrie North?
There is no fixed best day for Niddrie North. Compare current reported station prices and their update times. A recent high or a lower estimate does not confirm a cheaper date.
How accurate is FuelRadar Australia's Diesel price outlook?
Not accurate enough yet to tell you to fill or wait, so we don't. From 16 Oct to 14 Nov our next-day Diesel forecasts for Melbourne were off by 0.9 c/L on average over 30 days checked. Assuming prices wouldn't move was just as close.
Do higher prices mean they will fall soon?
A recent high does not confirm a turnaround. Compare the reported movement with the estimated range. If that range still includes today's price, a fall is not established. Check current station prices before deciding to wait.
How often is the outlook updated?
We update the forecast overnight. For anything that changed today, check the map.
