Editorial Policy

Petrol Prices Near Me publishes practical guidance to help Melbourne drivers compare local pump prices. We prioritise clarity, source transparency, and timely updates so readers can make informed decisions.

Data sources

Primary prices come from the Victoria FairFuel Open Data API. Station identity and admin catalogue edits are maintained in Baserow. When live fetches are unavailable, we fall back to the committed stations.json snapshot. See our methodology page for the full pipeline.

Review process

Content is reviewed by our editorial team for accuracy, readability, and consistency with official data. We update key guidance when reporting methods, market conditions, or user needs change.

Authority and accountability

Content is published by the Petrol Prices Near Me Editorial Team under Al T (contact@petrolpricesnearme.com.au). We document our data and editorial workflow on our methodology page and maintain public company and contact details on our about page.

Corrections

If you spot an error in a price, station listing, or editorial page, report it through our contact page or read the full corrections policy.

We aim to acknowledge correction requests within 24–48 hours on business days. We verify reports against FairFuel / Service Victoria retailer reporting and official station records — not crowd votes or unverified submissions. Verified issues are corrected and reflected in future updates.
