The average price of regular unleaded petrol (ULP) is set to increase by over 11 cents per litre (cpl) to 142.9 cpl tomorrow, so FuelWatch is encouraging Perth drivers, if they can, to fill up today to save money.

FuelWatch advises that on Wednesday 26 February 2020, most branded retailers are hiking their ULP price - Caltex hiking by 31 cpl to 155.9 cpl, 7-Eleven to 149.9 cpl, and Caltex Woolworths and Puma to 149.7 cpl. This follows hikes on Tuesday by BP and Coles Express, tomorrow their ULP prices will be up to 149.9 cpl.
