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 22 November 2023), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 34 cents per litre (cpl) to 211.1 cpl with Ampol hiking up to 223.9 cpl; 7-Eleven, BP and Caltex up to 221.9 cpl; Coles Express, EG Ampol and United up to 219.9 cpl; and Vibe up to 219.5 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 34 individual sites offering prices below 176 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 $31 on a 60 litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 172.9 cpl at Atlas Fuel Forrestfield in the East;
• 171.5 cpl at Atlas Fuel Ascot in the South; and
• 171.5 cpl at United Tapping in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 172.9 cpl at Atlas Fuel Forrestfield in the East;
• 170.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport (membership based) and 171.3 cpl at Vibe Ascot in the South; and
• 171.2 cpl at Petrol Fuels Bassendean in the North.
