Perth motorists advised to top up to save money 5 May
The average price of regular unleaded petrol (ULP) is set to increase by over 30 cents per litre (cpl) to 157 cpl tomorrow, so FuelWatch is encouraging Perth drivers, if they can, to fill up today to save money.
FuelWatch advises that on Wednesday 5 May 2021, most branded retailers are hiking their ULP price: Caltex Woolworths, Caltex and Coles Express hiking by 42-44 cpl to 169.9 cpl; BP to 168.9 cpl; Ampol and 7-Eleven to 167.9 cpl; Puma to 167.7 cpl; and Vibe to 159.9 cpl.
Perth’s weekly petrol price cycle results in prices, on average, being cheapest on Monday and Tuesday and at their most expensive on Wednesday and Thursday – that’s why FuelWatch recommends filling up today.

A NEW service station has set up shop at the former BP Silkstone, signalling the end of one era and the start of a new one for the site.
Rumours have swirled online in recent days over the future of the 211 sqm block after motorists claimed to see workers removing BP branding from the site.
Independently owned Metco Petroleum will instead service the high-traffic area on the corner of Cole Street and Blackstone Road.
Many residents will likely be disheartened to learn of the shutdown, with the former BP servo gaining a reputation for competitive pricing.

Subscriber only Northern Sunshine Coast drivers are being hit harder in the hip pocket at the petrol pump than their southern neighbours. RACQ research has revealed a huge price disparity in the region with Noosa motorists being slugged 30 cents a litre more than drivers in Caloundra. RACQ spokeswoman Clare Hunter said Noosa drivers were paying an average of 155.9 cents per litre compared to Caloundra where some service stations were charging just 125.5 cents per litre. It s all down to competition. In Caloundra there are a few smaller independent retailers which are competing on price and will discount heavily to get vehicles to the pump, Ms Hunter said.
