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 28 February 2024), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by over 32 cents per litre (cpl) to 209.1 cpl with BP hiking up to 223.9 cpl; Ampol, Caltex and Coles Express up to 221.9 cpl; Vibe up to 221.5 cpl; 7-Eleven and EG Ampol up to 219.9 cpl; and United up to 215.5 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 43 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 57 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $34 on a 60 litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 171.9 cpl at Ampol Foodary High Wycombe and Ampol Foodary Midvale in the East;
• 168.7 cpl at Costco Casuarina (Costco sites are membership based), 169.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport, and 170.5 cpl at Atlas Fuel Kwinana in the South; and
• 166.3 cpl at Burk Landsdale in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 173.5 cpl at Shell High Wycombe in the East;
• 168.7 cpl at Costco Casuarina, 169.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport, and 170.5 cpl at Atlas Fuel Kwinana and Vibe Kwinana OPT in the South; and
• 166.3 cpl at Burk Landsdale in the North.
