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 21 February 2024), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by over 32 cents per litre (cpl) to 210 cpl with 7-Eleven and BP hiking up to 223.9 cpl; Ampol up to 222.9 cpl; Caltex and Coles Express up to 221.9 cpl; EG Ampol up to 219.9 cpl; Vibe up to 218.5 cpl; and United up to 215.5 cpl..

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 45 individual sites offering ULP below 179 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 59 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $35 on a 60 litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 173.9 cpl at Caltex Midvale in the East;
• 169.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport (Costco sites are membership based), 170.7 cpl and Costco Casuarina, and 172.5 cpl at Liberty Naval Base and United Naval Base in the South; and
• 166.3 cpl at Burk Landsdale in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 175.5 cpl at Shell High Wycombe in the East;
• 169.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport, 170.7 cpl and Costco Casuarina, and 172.5 cpl at Liberty Naval Base and United Naval Base in the South; and
• 164.3 cpl at Burk Landsdale in the North.
