Victorians are being urged to take part in shaping new fuel price laws that could help families save hundreds each year. The Allan Labor Government has launched public consultation for proposed fuel regulations aiming to create a fairer, more transparent system at the pump.

Over 1,500 Retailers to Report Prices
The draft rules would require over 1,500 fuel retailers across the state to report real-time fuel prices. These prices will feed directly into a new Fuel Finder feature on the Service Victoria app, helping drivers compare prices and choose the cheapest option before filling up.
How It Helps Drivers
Backed by data from the ACCC, Melbourne drivers could have saved up to $333 in 2023 by purchasing fuel at the cheapest points in the pricing cycle. By making fuel costs visible across the board, the new tool could significantly cut fuel expenses for households.
Better Than Commercial Apps
Unlike current commercial fuel apps, the new government-powered tool will be neutral, covering more providers and without favouring any particular outlet. It's designed for fairness and broad accessibility.
