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 30 October 2024), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 33 cents per litre (cpl) to 192.1 cpl with Ampol hiking up to 211.9 cpl; EG Ampol, 7-Eleven, Caltex and BP up to 209.9 cpl; Vibe up to 209.7 cpl; Coles Express/Reddy Express up to 207.9 cpl; and United up to 197.5 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 23 individual sites offering prices below 158 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 62 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $37 on a 60 litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 154.9 cpl at EG Ampol Brabham, Shell Reddy Express Forrestfield, Shell Reddy Express Middle Swan and Shell Reddy Express Upper Swan Roadhouse in the East;
• 149.9 cpl at Atlas Fuel Thornlie and BP Canning Vale OPT in the South; and
• 149.9 cpl at Atlas Fuel Wanneroo in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 159.5 cpl at Shell High Wycombe in the East;
• 149.9 cpl at Atlas Fuel Thornlie and BP Canning Vale OPT in the South; and
• 149.9 cpl at Atlas Fuel Wanneroo in the North.
