• Independent retailers offered Perth metro's cheapest fuel in 2023
• Record daily price movements demonstrate value of using FuelWatch to shop around
• FuelWatch attracted 1.3 million visits a month in 2023

Savvy motorists could save more than $1,200 a year by shopping around for their fuel, according to new data released by FuelWatch.

FuelWatch data has revealed independent retailers Vibe, Atlas Fuel, FastFuel 24/7 and Liberty outlets occupied all spots in the top ten list of cheapest non-membership outlets across the Perth metropolitan area in 2023.

Selling the cheapest non-membership-based fuel in 2023 was the Vibe OPT outlet in Kwinana Beach, with average ULP prices of 169.5 cents per litre (cpl).

Atlas Fuel Kwinana followed closely with 169.7 cpl and Atlas Fuel Ascot in third spot with 169.9 cpl. Costco outlets at Perth Airport (166.5 cpl) and Casuarina (166.8 cpl) topped the cheapest list overall, but an annual membership is required to access these sites.

The overall average ULP price in Perth last year was a record 183.9 cpl, up on the 180.1 cpl recorded in 2022 when prices were temporarily dampened as a result of a six-month reduction to the Commonwealth fuel excise.

The FuelWatch website, which is also accessible via the ServiceWA app, attracted more than 1.3 million visits a month on average in 2023.

Comments attributed to Commerce Minister Sue Ellery:

"We know cost of living pressures mean every dollar counts for many Perth families right now. This data shows why shopping around for fuel on the FuelWatch website can make a meaningful difference to household budgets.

"2023 saw the return of a weekly price cycle for Perth, from a fortnightly one, which gave motorists some relief at the bowser knowing every Tuesday would be the cheapest time to fill up and a day when most retailers sell close to or below wholesale prices."
