Want to compare petrol prices in Melbourne? Sensible—nothing like a price spike to turn the school run into high finance.

Use a fuel‑price comparison app or map that shows live servo prices around you, filter by fuel type (E10, 91, 95, 98), and sort by distance or price.

Check the time‑stamp before you drive—crowd‑sourced data can go stale—and set alerts for nearby stations so you’re not guessing at the bowser.

Watch Melbourne’s price cycles: prices jump, then drift down over days; fill when the trend bottoms out, not when the boards suddenly leap.

Keep a shortlist of reliable stations on your commute and track their typical spread; a steady 4–10 c/L saving beats chasing unicorns across town.
