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 10 April 2024), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by over 31 cents per litre (cpl) to 213.1 cpl with 7-Eleven and Caltex hiking up to 229.9 cpl; Ampol, BP and Coles Express up to 225.9 cpl; EG Ampol up to 223.9 cpl; Vibe up to 221.5 cpl; and United up to 212.9 cpl.
Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 40 individual sites offering prices below 182 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 59 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $35 on a 60 litre tank.
