Motorists in Perth and Mandurah are advised to fill up now if they need to, with petrol prices set to rise tomorrow. After today motorists will likely have to wait a week before petrol prices are again at the bottom of the price cycle.
FuelWatch reports that, from 6am tomorrow (Wednesday 18 December 2024), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 35 cents per litre (cpl) to 195.8 cpl with Ampol and Caltex hiking up to 213.9 cpl; EG Ampol up to 211.9 cpl; 7-Eleven, BP and Coles Express/Reddy Express up to 209.9 cpl; Vibe up to 209.7 cpl; and United up to 203.5 cpl.
Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 33 individual sites offering prices below 160 cpl, so consumers should check the FuelWatch website to find the lowest price near them. Buying fuel from the cheapest site rather than the most expensive, a difference of 57 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $34 on a 60 litre tank.
Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:
- 156.9 cpl at 7-Eleven Brabham and EG Ampol Brabham in the East;
- 155.3 cpl at EG Ampol South Lake in the South; and
- 154.2 cpl at Metro Bassendean in the North.
Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:
- 159.5 cpl at Shell High Wycombe in the East;
- 156.7 cpl at Costco Casuarina and Costco Perth Airport (membership required) and 157.3 cpl at Burk Camillo in the South; and
- 156.3 cpl at Burk Alkimos, Burk Bassendean and Burk Landsdale in the North.
