The average price of regular unleaded petrol (ULP) is set to increase by around 13 cents per litre (cpl) to 133.5 cpl tomorrow, so FuelWatch is encouraging Perth drivers, if they can, to fill up today to save money.

This follows a hike on Tuesday by Coles Express, tomorrow their ULP price will be up to 149.9cpl.

If you need to fill up tomorrow, use FuelWatch as there are still over 45 sites selling below 114 cpl. The difference between the highest and lowest priced sites is 45 cpl, which means you can save up to $27 on a 60 litre tank of fuel.
