The FuelWatch website has reached an all-time record with more than a million visits in a month from motorists on the hunt for Perth's cheapest fuel.
Last month the website recorded 1,048,529 visits, the highest monthly number since FuelWatch launched in January 2001. The average is usually 800,000 visits a month.
Unique to Western Australia, FuelWatch provides motorists with a valuable tool to plan their fuel purchases with prices from most retail sites available each day, and the next day's prices after 2.30pm.
The prices once posted are locked in for 24 hours.
Mondays are still the cheapest days in the weekly fuel price cycle, and Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the most expensive.
