Alert to Perth motorists - fill up now to beat the petrol price rise

Last updated: 13 May 2025

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 14 May 2025), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 33 cents per litre (cpl) to 186.7 cpl with Shell Reddy Express hiking up to 203.9 cpl; Ampol, EG Ampol, 7-Eleven, BP and Caltex up to 199.9 cpl; Vibe up to 199.7 cpl; and United up to 199.5 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 20 individual sites offering prices below 152 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 56 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $33 on a 60 litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

  • 148.9 cpl at S24 Crystal Brook (Lesmurdie), S24 Forrestfield, Shell Reddy Express Middle Swan and Shell Reddy Express Upper Swan Roadhouse in the East;
  • 147.9 cpl at OTR Maddington in the South; and
  • 147.8 cpl at Petro Fuels Westminster in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

  • 149.7 cpl at Vibe Kalamunda in the East;
  • 147.7 cpl at Costco Casuarina and Costco Perth Airport (membership required) and 149.3 cpl at Burk Camillo and Vibe Ascot in the South; and
  • 148.3 cpl at Burk Bassendean and Burk Mount Lawley in the North.
