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 20 November 2024), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 35 cents per litre (cpl) to 191.8 cpl with 7-Eleven, BP, Caltex and EG Ampol hiking up to 209.9 cpl; Ampol up to 208.9 cpl; Coles Express/Reddy Express up to 207.9 cpl; Vibe up to 205.9 cpl; and United up to 197.7 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 21 individual sites offering ULP below 157 cpl, so consumers should check the FuelWatch website to find the lowest price near them. Buying ULP from the cheapest site rather than the most expensive, a difference of 59 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $35 on a 60-litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 153.9 cpl at EG Ampol Brabham, Shell Reddy Express Forrestfield, Shell Reddy Express Middle Swan and Shell Reddy Express Upper Swan Roadhouse in the East;
• 150.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport (Costco sites are membership based) and 151.7 cpl at EG Ampol South Lake in the South; and
• 151.3 cpl at Burk Alkimos in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 158.9 cpl at Atlas Fuel Forrestfield in the East;
• 150.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport and 152.3 cpl at Burk Camillo in the South; and
• 151.3 cpl at Burk Alkimos in the North.
