Perth petrol prices

So what's with the price of petrol in Perth? Why is there a regular cycle of cheapest on a monday then a spike that gradually decreases to the next monday? Google it. The spike is 20 cents a litre. And this is legal?

Hi Plodnalong, You can usually find answers to questions such as you have asked by going to the "Fuelwatch" Web site. That may help. I guess we a least have the situation in WA where you know the price for the next day as the price at all sites is set and published on the Fuelwatch site at 2.30 pm every day for the next day and it is fixed for 24 hours. Hope you enjoy WA and travel safe.

They do not call us the wild west, just because of the wildflowers, Plodnalong

As Aussie 1 has already said

Fuelwatch (the link is below) will help you out, after about 2.30 pm, there will be a button to choose between today, and tomorrow prices

http://www.fuelwatch.wa.gov.au/fuelwatch/pages/home.jspx

For example in my home town this morning

ULP 129.9 - Diesel 128.9

Servo on the main highway (about 30 kilometres north)

ULP 119.9 - Diesel 122.9

Can't work it out either, up and down like someone's draws . We live down south 400 klm from Perth, our diesel price stays the same all week.Much better I say !

Alwats pays to remember our esteemed leaders impose a maximum price a retailer can charge its good citizens.

If the retailers wish to charge a bit less one could think that would be very generous of them...cough,cough.

I am sure desiel is always close to the max they certainly dont drop it to often......

I'm in Mandurah, WA, and with the exception of one Woolies/Caltex which sometimes drops it diesel prices, all the other stay fixed at 136.9 as a minimum, even when unleaded sometimes goes down to 108.9.
I go to 7/11's as they are usually fixed at 125.9 for diesel (sometimes a few cents cheaper) and their fuels are supplied by Shell - the same as Coles Express and others.

The question is still valid.Why do the fuel outlets in Perth increase and decrease their fuel prices sometimes by up to 15cents ?
