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 1 January 2025), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 29 cents per litre (cpl) to 193 cpl with Ampol, 7-Eleven, EG Ampol, Coles Express/Reddy Express and BP hiking up to 209.9 cpl; Caltex up to 207.9 cpl; Vibe up to 207.7 cpl; and United up to 203.5 cpl.
Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 34 individual sites offering prices below 162 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:
• 158.9 cpl at Ampol Foodary Stratton in the East;
• 154.9 cpl at Ampol Foodary South Lake in the South; and
• 157.7 cpl at Metro Bassendean in the North.
Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:
• 161.5 cpl at Shell High Wycombe in the East;
• 158.7 cpl at Costco Casuarina and Costco Perth Airport (membership required) and 159.3 cpl at Burk Camillo in the South; and
• 158.5 cpl at Liberty Tapping in the North.
