Fuel buying tips for Ballarat

  • Don't fill at the first bowser you pass on 129 Main Road — listed unleaded in Ballarat spans about 19.0¢/L, so a 2-minute comparison before you join traffic can be worth more than the fuel itself.
  • Top up before a long highway run rather than after — regional boards can move between when you check and when you leave, and the next town's price isn't guaranteed to be lower.
  • If Ballarat is sitting at a cycle high, Golden Point has averaged about 3.6¢/L cheaper — only worth the detour for a near-empty tank, but worth knowing about.
