The average price of regular unleaded petrol (ULP) is set to increase by over 33 cents per litre (cpl) to 157.6 cpl tomorrow, so FuelWatch is encouraging Perth drivers, if they can, to fill up today to save money.
FuelWatch advises that on Wednesday 17 March 2021, most branded retailers are hiking their ULP price: Caltex/Ampol hiking by 46 cpl to 169.9 cpl; Coles Express and Caltex Woolworths to 167.9 cpl; Puma to 167.7 cpl; 7-Eleven and BP to 165.9 cpl; and Vibe to 159.9 cpl.
Perth's weekly petrol price cycle results in prices, on average, being cheapest on Monday and Tuesday and at their most expensive on Wednesday and Thursday - that's why FuelWatch recommends filling up today.
If you need to fill up tomorrow, use FuelWatch as there are still over 40 sites selling below 124 cpl. The difference between the highest and lowest priced sites is 52 cpl, which means you can save up to $31 on a 60 litre tank of fuel.
Tuesday's cheapest ULP is available for:
- 121.7 cpl at 7-Eleven Midland and 7-Eleven Midvale in the East;
- 117.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport (membership required) and 119.9 cpl at 7-Eleven Cockburn Central and Caltex Woolworths South Lake in the South; and
- 119.9 cpl at Caltex Woolworths Greenwood in the North.
