FuelWatch reports that, from 6am tomorrow (Wednesday 28 January 2026), the average price of Perth's regular unleaded petrol (ULP) will increase by 20 cents per litre (cpl) to 178.7 cpl with BP hiking up to 203.9 cpl; 7-Eleven, Ampol, EG Ampol and Caltex up to 199.9 cpl; United up to 188.9 cpl; and Vibe up to 188.7 cpl.
Despite the average hike tomorrow, there are still 23 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 57 cpl, means motorists can potentially save $34 on a 60-litre tank.
Tuesday's cheapest ULP is available for:
- 145.0 cpl at Shell Bullsbrook in the East;
- 148.1 cpl at Burk Oakford in the South; and
- 148.3 cpl at Burk Alkimos in the North.
Wednesday's cheapest ULP will be available for:
- 151.9 cpl at Metro Midvale in the East;
- 146.9 cpl at Vibe Oakford Truckstop in the South; and
- 148.0 cpl at Vibe Beechboro and Vibe Osborne Park in the North.
