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 31 May 2023), the average price of regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 28 cents per litre (cpl) to 193.4 cpl. Vibe hiking by up to 45 cpl up to 209.5; 7-Eleven, Ampol, BP and Coles Express up to 205.9 cpl; Caltex/Puma and EG Ampol up to 203.9 cpl; and United up to 191.9 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 45 individual sites offering prices below 164 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:

• 159.9 cpl at Caltex Midvale and Shell High Wycombe in the East;
• 158.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport and Costco Casuarina (membership required) and 158.9 cpl at Caltex Forrestdale and Caltex Warnbro in the South; and
• 157.3 cpl at Liberty Tapping and United Tapping in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 159.9 cpl at Shell High Wycombe in the East;
• 158.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport and Costco Casuarina (membership required) and 159.5 cpl at United Perth Airport in the South; and
