The average price of regular unleaded petrol (ULP) is set to increase by over 31 cents per litre (cpl) to 158.4 cpl tomorrow, so FuelWatch is encouraging Perth drivers, if they can, to fill up today to save money.
FuelWatch advises that on Wednesday 26 May 2021, most branded retailers are hiking their ULP price: Coles Express hiking by up to 44 cpl to 171.9 cpl; 7-Eleven, Caltex/Ampol and Caltex Woolworths to 169.9 cpl; Puma to 169.7 cpl; BP to 168.9 cpl; United to 159.9 cpl; and Vibe to 159.5 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 126 cpl. The difference between the highest and lowest priced sites is 54 cpl, which means you can save up to $32 on a 60 litre tank of fuel.

- 122.9 cpl at Shell High Wycombe in the East;
- 121.7 cpl at Costco Perth Airport (membership required) and 122.7 cpl at 7-Eleven Forrestdale in the South; and
