Fuel price advice for Perth drivers
Issue Date: - Wednesday, 18 January 2012
Fill up today if you want to pay less for your petrol – that’s the advice from FuelWatch.
On Thursday 19 January 2012, most BP, Caltex Woolworths, Coles Express and Caltex sites are increasing their ULP price 13 cents per litre (cpl) to a maximum of 149.9 cpl. Most Gull and Peak sites are also increasing their prices between 9 and 11 cpl.
Tomorrow's metropolitan ULP average will be 146.5 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 137.9 cpl.
Wednesday’s cheapest ULP is available for:
- 134.9 cpl at Gull High Wycombe in the East;
- 132.1 cpl at Coles Express Canning Vale in the South; and
- 132.1 cpl at Coles Express Girrawheen and Coles Express Mt Lawley in the North.
Thursday’s cheapest ULP is available for:
- 135.4 cpl at Unite Roleystone in the East;
- 132.1 cpl at Coles Express Canning Vale in the South; and
- 132.1 cpl at Coles Express Girrawheen and Coles Express Mt Lawley in the North.
