Victorian fuel-price snapshot
Published Diesel prices across Victoria on 5 September 2026.
A dated view of the delayed Service Victoria feed shows how Diesel prices varied across the state—and why a route-aware comparison still matters.
Victoria at a glance.
The statewide snapshot returned 1,756 listed sites. Of those, 1,717 had a price available for the Diesel comparison after price-quality checks. The median displayed value was 254.9 cents per litre, with 138 distinct published values.
The ranked statewide range was 229.3–312.9 c/L, a spread of 83.6 c/L. One extreme source report was retained as reported metadata but suppressed from rankings and these aggregates pending confirmation.
What changed since 30 August.
Compared with Fuel Finder VIC’s previous dated Diesel snapshot, the statewide median was unchanged at 254.9 c/L, while the number of priced sites was two higher. The number of distinct published values moved from 151 to 138. These are two delayed point-in-time captures—not proof that prices were stable between them or evidence of a continuing trend.
Eight local comparison areas.
Each row uses a 50 × 50 km square centred on the named area. Squares can overlap and contain different numbers of stations, so they should not be combined or treated as a league table.

| Melbourne | 631 | 234.9 | 254.4 | 280.9 | 46.0 |

How to read the snapshot.
Service Victoria prices are published with an approximately 24-hour delay. A displayed value may differ from the pump price when a driver arrives.
Standard Diesel is preferred. A clearly identified Premium Diesel value is used only when it is the site’s sole published diesel price. This applied to 692 statewide records in this snapshot.
This is a dated descriptive snapshot, not a prediction. Prices, products, opening hours, access and facilities can change after capture.
The fuel and time used on a detour can outweigh a lower price, while an eligible personal offer can change the effective ranking. Fuel Finder VIC never stacks discounts.
Important travel notice
These figures do not guarantee the current pump price, product availability or the cheapest total journey. Confirm the price, opening hours, access conditions and required facilities directly with the station before travelling. Heavy-vehicle users must also confirm legal access, restrictions, clearance and turning space.
