Petrol Prices - Start of New Price Cycle
Tomorrow most BP and Caltex/Ampol sites are increasing their unleaded petrol (ULP) prices to 133.9 cents per litre (cpl), signaling the start of a new petrol price cycle in Perth.
Over the last few months, petrol prices in the metropolitan area have generally been following a two week cycle, mostly starting on a Sunday or Monday. This means petrol prices increase over a two to three day period and then slowly decrease over the next week and a half.
The average price of ULP across Perth tomorrow is 125.0 cpl, however more than 150 service stations will still be selling petrol at 121.9 cpl or less.
FuelWatch is encouraging motorists to buy their petrol today or tomorrow while cheaper prices are still available and to check petrol prices before they buy.
In the Eastern suburbs tomorrow the cheapest fuel can be purchased from United Roleystone for 118.5 cpl.
In the Northern suburbs tomorrow the cheapest fuel can be purchased from Caltex Woolworths Highgate for 118.7 cpl.
And South of the river tomorrow the cheapest fuel can be purchased from a number of sites for 118.3 cpl.
Motorists can find the best prices by checking the FuelWatch website at www.fuelwatch.wa.gov.au or by phoning 1300 550 808.
