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 29 January 2025), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 29 cents per litre (cpl) to 196.6 cpl with Reddy Express/Coles Express and 7-Eleven hiking up to 213.9 cpl; Ampol, BP and Caltex up to 211.9 cpl; Vibe up to 211.7 cpl; EG Ampol up to 209.9 cpl; and United up to 203.9 cpl.
Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 23 individual sites offering prices below 169 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 51 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $30 on a 60 litre tank.
Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:
- 161.9 cpl at EG Ampol Brabham in the East;
- 160.9 cpl at Ampol Foodary Bentley, Ampol Foodary East Fremantle, Ampol Foodary Forrestdale, Ampol Foodary Kwinana, Ampol Foodary Melville, Ampol Foodary O'Connor, Ampol Foodary South Lake and Ampol Foodary Yangebup in the South; and
- 160.9 cpl at Ampol Foodary Carine, Ampol Foodary Nedlands, Ampol Foodary Northlands and Ampol Foodary Subiaco in the North.
Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:
- 163.9 cpl at Atlas Fuel Stratton in the East;
- 162.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport (membership required) and 163.3 cpl at Burk Camillo in the South; and
