The average cost of unleaded petrol is set to increase by 16 cents per litre (cpl) to 125.1 cpl tomorrow, so FuelWatch is encouraging Perth drivers to fill up today to save money.

FuelWatch advises that on Tuesday 8 August 2017, most Caltex Woolworths, Coles Express, Puma and BP sites are increasing their ULP price to 134.9 cpl (an increase of between 24 and 30 cpl). Most 7-Eleven sites are increasing their ULP price to 131.9 cpl.

Perth’s weekly petrol price cycle results in prices, on average, being cheapest on Sunday and Monday and at their most expensive on Tuesday and Wednesday – that’s why FuelWatch recommends filling up today.

If you need to fill up tomorrow, use FuelWatch as there are still over 65 sites selling below 106 cpl. The difference between the highest and lowest priced sites is 32 cpl, which means you can save up to $19 on a 60 litre tank of fuel.

Monday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 103.9 cpl at Caltex StarMart Midvale and Caltex StarShop Swan View in the East;
• 102.9 cpl at Caltex Woolworths Canning Vale and Caltex Woolworths South Lake in the South; and
• 102.9 cpl at 7-Eleven Balga, Caltex StarMart Joondalup, Caltex StarMart Northlands, Caltex StarShop Balga, Caltex Woolworths Greenwood and Caltex Woolworths Mirrabooka in the North.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 103.9 cpl at Caltex StarMart Midvale and Caltex StarShop Swan View in the East;
• 103.1 cpl at Coles Express Casuarina in the South; and
• 102.9 cpl at Caltex StarMart Joondalup, Caltex StarMart Northlands and Caltex StarShop Balga in the North.
