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 9 October 2024), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 36 cents per litre (cpl) to 191.9 cpl with Caltex and Ampol hiking up to 209.9 cpl; 7-Eleven, EG Ampol and Coles Express/Reddy Express up to 207.9 cpl; BP up to 205.9 cpl; Vibe up to 203.7 cpl; and United up to 199.5 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 21 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 61 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $36 on a 60 litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 151.9 cpl at 7-Eleven Brabham, 7-Eleven Wattle Grove and EG Ampol Brabham in the East;
• 148.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport (Costco sites are membership based), 150.7 cpl at Costco Casuarina and 150.9 cpl at Atlas Fuel Ascot and EG Ampol South Lake in the South; and
• 148.3 cpl at Burk Bassendean in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 152.9 cpl at Petro Fuels Swan View in the East;
• 148.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport, 150.7 cpl at Costco Casuarina and 151.3 cpl at Burk Camillo and Vibe Kwinana OPT in the South; and
• 148.3 cpl at Burk Bassendean in the North.
