Albans's median unleaded (166.0¢/L) is about 26.7¢/L below the Melbourne reference median — a useful baseline, though individual stations can still vary on the day.

Current Melbourne average is 32.7¢/L below the typical metro median. This is the cycle window worth filling in if your tank can take it.

With prices near a cycle trough, Thursday is a reasonable day to fill if your tank is below half. Re-check before weekend demand picks up.

Melbourne-wide unleaded has been firming — about 7.6¢/L higher across the last 5 days in our reference data (now near 192.7¢/L).

Today's Albans median (166.0¢/L) should be read against that metro context; metro diesel averages near 193.5¢/L in the same snapshot.

Commuting and fill-up timing in Albans

Albans sits inside greater Melbourne's shared retail cycle — pairing suburb comparisons with your usual commute corridor (not just the closest servo) is how many drivers find an extra few cents per litre.

Listed unleaded in Albans currently centres around a 166.0¢/L median and 164.3¢/L average — timing fills with the Melbourne weekly cycle (mid-week lows, weekend highs are common) often matters as much as brand choice.

Albans — common questions

Why are bowser rates high in Albans?

Albans rates reflect local competition, motorway or highway exposure, and where we are in the Melbourne retail cycle. When the cycle is in a high phase, even competitive areas lift together — compare nearby cheaper suburbs on this page before you fill.

What is the cheapest ULP in Albans today?

We list 3 stations in Albans. The lowest published unleaded is 160.0¢/L. Open each station card for brand, address, and last-reported time.

What is the average ULP rate in Albans?

Across stations reporting unleaded in Albans, the average is about 164.3¢/L. The cheapest board can be several cents below the suburb average.

How wide is the price spread in Albans?

Today there is 7.0¢/L between the cheapest and dearest listed unleaded in Albans. A wider spread usually means comparing two or three convenient stations is worth the extra minute before you fill.

What day is cheapest to fill in Melbourne?

Melbourne typically hits cycle troughs mid-week during a down-leg. Use our Melbourne cycle guide and compare Albans on low days — not only when the tank is empty.

Where can I find cheap diesel near Albans?

Open the diesel grade page for Albans at /suburbs/albans/diesel — spreads are often wider than ULP, especially near freight corridors and industrial zones.

Where can I find premium fuel prices in Albans?

Compare premium 95/98 boards at /suburbs/albans/premium. Premium spreads can differ from ULP — vehicles that require higher octane should confirm the grade on the bowser label.

Are board rates updated live?

Rates follow Service Victoria retailer reporting. Timestamps on each station show when a value was last filed — confirm at the bowser before you fill.

How many petrol stations are in Albans?

Our directory lists 3 fuel stations in Albans. Not every site reports every grade each cycle — open individual station pages for diesel, premium, E10, and LPG where published.

Is Albans cheaper than nearby suburbs for petrol?

Scroll to nearby suburb links on this page to compare live boards. Albans can be cheaper or dearer than neighbours on any given day depending on brand resets and local competition.

What fuel brands operate in Albans?

Brand mix varies by corner — use the station cards below to see BP, Shell, Ampol, Caltex, 7-Eleven, independents, and other retailers reporting in Albans.

Can I compare Albans fuel prices on a map?

Yes. Open the live fuel map from this page to see Albans stations geographically, filter by fuel type, and pick the cheapest convenient bowser before you drive.

Should I fill up in Albans or wait for a lower cycle point?

If your tank is above half full, compare Albans with the Melbourne median and nearby suburbs. Filling at a cycle trough in a competitive suburb often beats waiting at an empty tank during a spike.

Does Costco or membership fuel affect Albans prices?

Membership warehouses can undercut major brands on some days. Even if you shop at Costco elsewhere, compare Albans servos along your usual route — detours only pay off when the gap is wide enough.

Are diesel prices different from unleaded in Albans?

Yes. Diesel follows distillate demand from freight, agriculture, and fleets — it does not always move in lockstep with unleaded. Compare /suburbs/albans/diesel if you drive a diesel vehicle.

What is E10 and is it listed in Albans?

E10 is an ethanol blend suitable only for compatible vehicles. Where stations publish E10 in Albans, compare it at /suburbs/albans/e10 against ULP 91 — the bowser discount must outweigh any economy difference.

How do I save money on fuel in Albans?

Compare before you default to the nearest servo, fill before the tank is empty so you can wait for softer prices, and use suburb and fuel-type pages together when you commute through Albans.

Where does Albans petrol price data come from?

Retailers report bowser prices through Victorian fuel price transparency requirements. We aggregate listings for comparison — individual stations remain responsible for the price at the pump.

Can I get directions to the cheapest station in Albans?

Each station card links to a detail page with address and map directions. Pick the lowest listed ULP that is convenient for your route, then confirm the live price when you arrive.

Is premium fuel worth it in Albans?

Use the octane rating specified on your vehicle label. Premium is for engines designed or tuned for it — paying for 98 octane in a car rated for 91 does not automatically improve economy.
