This week we saw a large drop in wholesale diesel prices which seems to have translated into significant falls in pump prices for both Adelaide and Perth. With other major capitals seeing minor reductions. We’ll continue to monitor over the next week to see if there are any further reductions or jumps. But for the meantime, motorists in Perth – now is the time to fill up!
