Ballarat's fuel comes by road from the terminals around Melbourne and Geelong, about 115 km away. Even so, since April 2026 its average unleaded price has sat about a cent below Melbourne's, and it moves with the capital's from day to day.
Across September 2026 the cheaper stations were in central Ballarat, Ballarat North and Alfredton, around 3–4¢/L under the city average. The fringe stations at Warrenheip and Brown Hill ran above it. On a typical day about 15¢/L separated the cheaper and dearer ends of town.
Victoria's fuel price reporting scheme publishes once daily rather than in real time, so PetrolPulse's Ballarat prices can sit up to a day behind the bowser. Treat them as a directional read, and confirm at the pump before driving across town for a cheaper price.
