VIC Fuel Prices Snapshot: 20–27 April 2026

Biggest Movers in VIC Fuel Prices This Week

Diesel was the standout mover. Metro diesel opened the week at 300.0 c/L on Monday and fell steadily every single day, closing at 263.0 c/L by Sunday. That's a 37c drop across the week alone, meaning anyone who held off filling up their tank was well rewarded. Rural diesel followed the same downward slope, finishing at 271.1 c/L on Sunday.

U91 metro told a similar story, sliding from 206.2 c/L on Monday down to 185.0 c/L by Sunday without any mid-week reversal. The trend was clean and consistent all week. Rural U91 tracked the same direction, though drivers outside metro areas are still paying around 9c more per litre on average, which adds up to roughly $4.50 extra every time you fill a 50-litre tank.

P95 and P98 both fell by just over 20c week-on-week, making premium grades noticeably cheaper than they've been in recent weeks. E10 remains the cheapest option on the board at 190.7 c/L metro.

Metro Station Price Range and Brand Comparison

The spread between the cheapest and most expensive metro stations this week is extraordinary. Lmct+ was the cheapest metro station at 99.9 c/L, while Astron Langwarrin was the priciest at 400.0 c/L. That's a 300c gap, which is a stark reminder that where you fill up matters enormously.

Among brand averages for metro U91, Costco was cheapest at 185.8c across 3 stations, followed by Apco at 187.5c and Liberty at 189.0c. At the pricier end, Caltex averaged 202.2c across 16 stations, a 16.4c gap over Costco. If you're filling up 50 litres weekly, choosing a Costco or Apco over a Caltex could save you over $8 per fill.
