Fill up today if you want to pay less for your petrol – that’s the advice from FuelWatch.

On Thursday, 24 July 2014, most BP, Caltex and Coles Express sites are increasing their ULP price by 13 cents per litre (cpl) up to 159.9 cpl. Most Caltex Woolworths sites are increasing their ULP price up to 158.9 cpl, most Gull sites are increasing their price up to 157.9 cpl and most Peak sites are increasing their price up to 156.9 cpl.

Tomorrow's metropolitan average price for ULP will be 156.9 cpl, however there will be 45 Perth sites selling below 150 cpl.
