Motorists in Perth and Mandurah are advised to fill up now if they need to, with petrol prices set to rise tomorrow. Drivers are also urged to only purchase the fuel they need to fill their vehicles, not to stockpile.
FuelWatch reports that, from 6am tomorrow (Wednesday 15 April 2026), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 6 cents per litre (cpl) to 213.9 cpl with Caltex hiking up to 239.9 cpl; BP and 7-Eleven up to 229.9 cpl; EG Ampol up to 219.9 cpl; and Ampol up to 217.9 cpl.
Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 26 individual sites offering ULP below 194 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 64 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $38 on a 60-litre tank.
Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:
- 191.7 cpl at Vibe Forrestfield in the East;
- 185.7 cpl at Vibe Oakford Truckstop and Vibe Welshpool in the South; and
- 186.9 cpl at Vibe Beechboro in the North.
Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:
- 189.7 cpl at Vibe Kalamunda in the East;
- 185.3 cpl at Burk Cannington and Burk Oakford in the South; and
- 191.3 cpl at Burk Bassendean, Burk Landsdale and Burk Mount Lawley in the North.
