The average price of unleaded petrol is set to increase by around 14 cents per litre (cpl) to 163.9 cpl tomorrow, so FuelWatch is encouraging Perth drivers to fill up today to save money.

FuelWatch advises that on Tuesday 9 October 2018, all Coles Express and most Caltex sites are increasing their ULP price to 167.9 cpl (an increase of between 18 and 19 cpl). Most Puma, BP and Caltex Woolworths sites are increasing their ULP price to 165.9 cpl, most 7-Eleven sites to 161.9 cpl, many United sites to 160.7 cpl, some Vibe sites to 158.6 cpl and some Better Choice sites to 157.7 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 30 sites selling below 155 cpl. The difference between the highest and lowest priced sites is 24 cpl, which means you can save up to $14 on a 60 litre tank of fuel.

Monday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

• 143.7 cpl at Puma High Wycombe and United Roleystone in the East;
• 139.7 cpl at Caltex Woolworths Canning Vale in the South; and
• 139.7 cpl at Caltex Woolworths Mirrabooka in the North.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

• 147.9 cpl at FastFuel 24/7 in the East;
• 143.7 cpl at Puma Atwell in the South; and
• 148.1 cpl at Vibe Charles St (North Perth) and Vibe Nollamara in the North.
