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

Last updated: 17 June 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 18 June 2025), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 35 cents per litre (cpl) to 191.4 cpl with Ampol hiking up to 209.9 cpl; EG Ampol up to 207.9 cpl; 7-Eleven and Shell Reddy Express up to 205.9 cpl; Caltex and BP up to 203.9 cpl; Vibe up to 203.7 cpl; and United up to 197.9 cpl.

Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 27 individual sites offering ULP below 156 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 61 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $36 on a 60-litre tank.

Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:

  • 147.9 cpl at NightOwl Shell Bellevue in the East;
  • 146.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport (Costco sites are membership based), and 149.4 cpl at NightOwl Shell Redcliffe in the South; and
  • 147.9 cpl at NightOwl Shell Highgate in the North.

Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:

  • 155.5 cpl at Shell High Wycombe in the East;
  • 148.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport, 152.7 cpl at Costco Casuarina, and 153.3 cpl at Burk Camillo in the South; and
  • 151.3 cpl at Burk Bassendean, Burk Landsdale and Burk Mount Lawley in the North.
