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 8 November 2023), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by over 32 cents per litre (cpl) to 213.7 cpl with Coles Express hiking up to 225.9 cpl; 7-Eleven, BP and Caltex up to 223.9 cpl; EG Ampol up to 221.9 cpl; Ampol up to 219.9 cpl; Vibe up to 219.5 cpl; and United up to 217.9 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 48 individual sites offering prices below 180 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 53 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $32 on a 60 litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 175.9 cpl at EG Ampol Brabham View in the East;
• 175.3 cpl at Burk Camillo in the South; and
• 173.3 cpl at Burk Alkimos in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 175.8 cpl at Petrol Fuels Swan View in the East;
• 174.8 cpl at Petrol Fuels Seville Grove in the South; and
• 172.3 cpl at Burk Alkimos and X Convenience Alkimos in the North.
