The average price of unleaded petrol is set to increase by 22 cents per litre (cpl) to 139.6 cpl tomorrow, so FuelWatch is encouraging Perth drivers to fill up today to save money.

FuelWatch advises that on Tuesday 19 February 2019, most Coles Express sites are increasing their ULP price to 147.9 cpl (increasing by 33 cpl). Most 7-Eleven sites are increasing their ULP price to 146.9 cpl, most Caltex and Caltex Woolworths sites to 145.9 cpl, most Puma sites to 145.7 cpl and most BP sites to 143.9 cpl.

Perth’s weekly petrol price cycle results in prices, on average, being cheapest on Sunday and Monday and at their most expensive on Tuesday and Wednesday – that’s why FuelWatch recommends filling up today.

If you need to fill up tomorrow, use FuelWatch as there are still over 25 sites selling below 120 cpl. The difference between the highest and lowest priced sites is 33 cpl, which means you can save up to $19 on a 60 litre tank of fuel.

Monday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 114.7 cpl at Puma High Wycombe in the East;
• 113.7 cpl at Caltex Woolworths Warnbro Fair in the South; and
• 113.7 cpl at Caltex Woolworths Morley Galleria in the North.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 119.9 cpl at FastFuel 24/7 (Forrestfield) in the East;
• 114.9 cpl at Caltex Woolworths South Lake in the South; and
• 114.9 cpl at Caltex Woolworths Ellenbrook, Caltex Woolworths Osborne Park and Caltex Woolworths Whitfords in the North.
