Motorists in Perth and Mandurah are advised to fill up now if they need to, with petrol prices set to rise tomorrow. After today motorists will likely have to wait a week before petrol prices are again at the bottom of the price cycle.

FuelWatch reports that, from 6am tomorrow (Wednesday 19 June 2024), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 35 cents per litre (cpl) to 202.9 cpl with Coles Express/Reddy Express, Caltex and Ampol hiking up to 219.9 cpl; 7-Eleven, EG Ampol and BP up to 217.9 cpl; Vibe up to 215.7 cpl; and United up to 195.9 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 29 individual sites offering prices below 166 cpl, so consumers should check the FuelWatch website to find the lowest price near them. Buying fuel from the cheapest site rather than the most expensive, a difference of 61 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $36 on a 60-litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 163.9 cpl at 7-Eleven Brabham, 7-Eleven Wattle Grove and EG Ampol Brabham in the East;
• 158.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport (Costco sites are membership based) and 161.3 cpl and United South Lake in the South; and
• 159.3 cpl at Burk Alkimos in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 166.3 cpl at Vibe Forrestfield in the East;
• 158.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport and 162.7 cpl at Costco Casuarina and Vibe Ascot in the South; and
• 159.3 cpl at Burk Alkimos in the North.
