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 18 September 2024), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by over 35 cents per litre (cpl) to 189.9 cpl with BP hiking up to 209.9 cpl; Ampol up to 207.9 cpl; EG Ampol and 7-Eleven up to 205.9 cpl; Coles Express/Reddy Express up to 204.9 cpl; Caltex up to 203.9 cpl, Vibe up to 203.7 cpl; and United up to 195.7 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 27 individual sites offering prices below 154 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 60 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $36 on a 60 litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 149.9 cpl at Atlas Fuel Midvale and EG Ampol Brabham in the East;
• 148.3 cpl at EG Ampol South Lake and United South Lake in the South; and
• 148.3 cpl at EG Ampol Greenwood in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 151.8 cpl at Petro Fuels Swan View in the East;
• 150.7 cpl at Atlas Fuel Ascot, Costco Casuarina (Costco sites are membership based), Costco Perth Airport and Vibe Byford in the South; and
• 149.3 cpl at Burk Bassendean in the North.
