Perth fuel prices about to jump

Perth drivers looking for a bargain will be making the most of prices at the bowser today ahead of tomorrow’s major price hikes.

Across WA, today fuel is the cheapest it’s been all year, at an average of $1.48 per litre, but that is set to change.

From tomorrow, the federal government’s fuel excise will be halved from 32 cents a litre to 16 cents a litre – adding about an extra $10 per tank.

There will be some relief for WA drivers though, with the state’s $100 fuel payment able to be claimed from tomorrow, via the ServiceWA app.
