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

On Thursday, 6 February 2014, most Caltex and Caltex Woolworths sites are hiking their ULP price by 13 cents per litre (cpl) up to 161.9 cpl. Most Coles Express sites are also increasing their ULP price up to 161.9 cpl, most Gull and BP sites up to 160.9 cpl and most Peak sites up to 159.9 cpl.

Tomorrow's metropolitan average price for ULP will be 159.0 cpl, however there will be over 35 Perth sites selling below 150 cpl. Given that Perth ULP prices follow a weekly cycle, with Thursday and Friday being the most expensive days, FuelWatch recommends filling up today and paying no more than 149.4 cpl.

• 146.7 cpl at United Roleystone in the East;
• 143.1 cpl at Caltex Woolworths Beckenham, Coles Express Casuarina and Coles Express Fremantle in the South; and
