Motorists in Perth and Mandurah are advised to fill up now if they need to, with petrol prices set to rise tomorrow. After today motorists will likely have to wait a week before petrol prices are again at the bottom of the price cycle.
FuelWatch reports that, from 6am tomorrow (Wednesday 21 January 2026), the average price of Perth's regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 20 cents per litre (cpl) to 179.6 cpl with BP hiking up to 203.9 cpl; 7-Eleven, Ampol, EG Ampol and Caltex up to 199.9 cpl; United up to 189.9 cpl; and Vibe up to 188.7 cpl.
Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 24 individual sites offering ULP below 153 cpl, so consumers should check the FuelWatch website to find the lowest price near them. Buying fuel from the cheapest site rather than the most expensive, a difference of 62 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $37 on a 60-litre tank.
Tuesday's cheapest ULP is available for:
- 149.0 cpl at Shell Bullsbrook in the East;
- 142.1 cpl at Burk Oakford in the South; and
- 148.0 cpl at Vibe Beechboro in the North.
Wednesday's cheapest ULP will be available for:
- 148.7 cpl at Vibe Kalamunda and Vibe Mt Helena in the East;
- 141.1 cpl at Burk Oakford in the South; and
- 148.0 cpl at Vibe Beechboro, Vibe Bullsbrook Northlink and Vibe Charles St in the North.
