Premium 95/98 in Melbourne — local guide

Premium 95/98 prices in Melbourne, Victoria are listed on this page for drivers who want a suburb-level snapshot before they travel. We show 40 fuel stations in Melbourne where retailers report through the Victorian fuel price transparency scheme — compare the sorted list below, then confirm the live bowser price and the correct nozzle for your vehicle.

Melbourne sits in the Inner-Melbourne market where Melbourne's shared retail cycle still matters: mid-week discount phases and weekend resets are common. Drivers who compare premium 95/98 across Melbourne and neighbouring suburbs on the same day often pick up a few cents per litre without a long detour.

Stations cluster along West Gate Freeway and 11-17 Alexandra Parade in Melbourne, which suits on-route comparison: check two or three convenient bowsers along your usual corridor instead of paying the first price you pass after exiting the freeway or main road.

Before you fill in Melbourne, compare premium 95/98 with nearby Carlton, Fitzroy, East Melbourne and North Melbourne. A short cross-suburb check often beats brand loyalty when the retail cycle is mid-reset or when one pocket of Melbourne has already lifted prices ahead of neighbours.

Premium 95/98 in Melbourne can spread wider than ULP 91 between majors and independents — a multi-brand compare on this page often saves more than defaulting to the nearest Calder Highway servo. Use the octane rating on your vehicle label; paying for 98 in a car rated for 91 does not improve economy.

Figures here are compiled from public Victorian fuel price data for comparison only — not mechanical or financial advice. Open individual station pages for addresses, other grades, freshness timestamps, and directions when you are ready to fill in Melbourne.

Definitions

Premium unleaded (95 / 98)
Higher-octane petrol for engines designed or tuned for it. Use the octane printed on your vehicle label; higher octane does not automatically improve economy in engines not specified for it.
Unleaded 91 (ULP 91)
The most common petrol grade in Australia for spark-ignition engines rated for standard unleaded. Octane meets the minimum for vehicles that do not require premium fuel.
