Perth fuel prices: Diesel drivers finally get relief as average price drops below $3 a litre on Friday

Diesel drivers will finally get some relief at the bowser on Friday.

In a rare switch up, the average price will drop by more than the price for unleaded petrol.

According to FuelWatch, the average price of diesel in Perth is set to fall from Thursday’s mark of 301.7c a litre to 295.8c — no doubt a welcome development for ute and SUV drivers.

It will mark the first time diesel drops below an average of $3 a litre since March 23.

Off-road lovers and big car fanatics are tipped to form a queue at Vibe Oakford tomorrow, which will have the cheapest diesel in Perth at 269.9c a litre.

Meanwhile, ULP is a whisker away from dropping below the $2 mark, with the average shifting from 207.2c down to 201.8c a litre.

Vibe will remain the cheapest retailer on average in Perth, down to just 193.5c a litre. A far cry from the other end of the spectrum at Caltex where the average sits at 207.8c a litre.

OMG Metro Dianella, Vibe Oakford and Vibe Welshpool will all offer the lowest ULP prices on Friday at 184.9c.

Perth motorists will be over the moon that prices are steadily dropping back down day-by-day, but a wide margin remains between the city’s cheapest servo (184.9c) and the dearest which will be above the staggering 250c mark.

All products will see a drop in price, aside from E85 which will remain firm at 269.9c.

Where to find the cheapest petrol in Perth on Thursday:

• Vibe Oakford in the South, at 184.9c per litre
• Burk Cannington in the East, at 185.3c per litre
• Burk Landsdale in the North, at 191.3c per litre
