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 8 April 2026), the average price of Perth’s regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 7 cents per litre (cpl) to 227.4 cpl with BP and 7-Eleven hiking up to 239.9 cpl; EG Ampol up to 229.9 cpl; United and Ampol up to 227.9 cpl; and Vibe up to 223.7 cpl.
Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 38 individual sites offering ULP below 210 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 68 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $40 on a 60-litre tank.
Tuesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:
- 199.0 cpl at Shell Bullsbrook in the East;
- 193.3 cpl at Burk Cannington and Burk Oakford in the South; and
- 195.3 cpl at Burk Mount Lawley in the North.
Wednesday’s cheapest ULP will be available for:
- 205.0 cpl at Shell Bullsbrook in the East;
- 191.3 cpl at Liberty Beckenham in the South; and
- 203.3 cpl at Burk Landsdale in the North.
