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 August 2023), the average price of regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 27 cents per litre (cpl) to 204.1 cpl. Caltex/Puma, Coles Express and BP hiking by between 36-44 cpl up to 215.9 cpl; Ampol up to 213.9 cpl; 7-Eleven and EG Ampol up to 209.9 cpl; Vibe up to 209.5 cpl; and United up to 206.9 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 33 individual sites offering prices below 176 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 47 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $28 on a 60 litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 169.5 cpl at Atlas Fuel Midvale and Petro Fuels Swan View in the East;
• 168.7 cpl at Costco Casuarina and Costco Perth Airport (membership required) and 169.9 cpl at EG Ampol South Lake in the South; and
• 169.3 cpl at Atlas Fuel Caversham in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 169.2 cpl at Atlas Fuel Sawyers Valley in the East;
• 168.7 cpl at Costco Casuarina and Costco Perth Airport (membership required) and 172.3 cpl at Burk Camillo in the South; and
• 169.3 cpl at Atlas Fuel Caversham in the North.
