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 7 February 2024), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by over 31 cents per litre (cpl) to 208.4 cpl with BP and Caltex hiking up to 223.9 cpl; Ampol up to 222.9 cpl; 7-Eleven and Coles Express up to 219.9 cpl; EG Ampol up to 215.9 cpl; Vibe up to 215.5 cpl; and United up to 213.9 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 25 individual sites offering prices below 175 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 52 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $31 on a 60 litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 172.9 cpl at Ampol Foodary Mundaring in the East;
• 171.5 cpl at Liberty Gosnells and Liberty O’Connor in the South; and
• 171.5 cpl at Liberty Landsdale in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 173.5 cpl at Shell High Wycombe in the East;
• 171.5 cpl at Liberty Gosnells and Liberty O’Connor in the South; and
• 171.5 cpl at Liberty Landsdale in the North.
