Fuel price advice for Perth drivers
Issue Date: - Wednesday, 1 February 2012
Fill up today if you want to pay less for your petrol - that's the advice from FuelWatch.
On Thursday 2 February 2012, most Coles Express, Caltex, BP and Caltex Woolworths sites are increasing their ULP price 12 cents per litre (cpl) to a maximum of 149.9 cpl. Most Gull and Peak sites are also increasing their prices between 9 and 10 cpl.
Tomorrow's metropolitan ULP average will be 146.6 cpl, however there will be over 50 Perth sites selling below 140.0 cpl.
Given that Perth ULP prices follow a weekly cycle, with Thursday and Friday being the most expensive days, FuelWatch recommends filling up today and paying no more than 138.9 cpl.
Wednesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:
- 131.9 cpl at Gull Karragullen Motors in the East;
- 132.8 cpl at Caltex Woolworths Warnbro Fair and Caltex Woolworths Canning Vale in the South; and
- 133.1 cpl at Coles Express Duncraig and Coles Express Clarkson in the North.
Thursday’s cheapest ULP is available for:
- 135.7 cpl at United Roleystone in the East;
- 131.9 cpl at Coles Express Maddington in the South; and
- 131.9 cpl at Coles Express Duncraig and Coles Express Clarkson in the North.
