Petrol price up again

Motorists face another kick in the hip pocket with all the major petrol companies lifting their prices 3c.

BP was the first to move yesterday, raising the cost of a litre of 91-octane petrol to 134.9c and 96-octane to 139.9c.

Mobil, Shell and Caltex have all followed suit.

It is believed the price rise, following other rises and the imposition of a higher ACC levy recently, mean that petrol in New Zealand is at a 10-year high.
