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 2 October 2024), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by over 34 cents per litre (cpl) to 190.1 cpl with Ampol hiking up to 207.9 cpl; 7-Eleven, BP, Coles Express/Reddy Express and Caltex up to 205.9 cpl; Vibe up to 204.7 cpl; EG Ampol up to 203.9 cpl; and United up to 197.5 cpl.

 

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 24 individual sites offering prices below 155 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 57 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $34 on a 60 litre tank.

 

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

  • 151.9 cpl at 7-Eleven Brabham, 7-Eleven Wattle Grove and EG Ampol Brabham in the East;
  • 149.9 cpl at Ampol Foodary South Lake and EG Ampol South Lake in the South; and
  • 149.9 cpl at EG Ampol Greenwood in the North.

 

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

  • 153.8 cpl at Petro Fuels Swan View in the East;
  • 150.7 cpl at Costco Casuarina (membership required) and 152.5 cpl at United Byford in the South; and
  • 151.3 cpl at Burk Bassendean in the North.
