BP raises petrol prices by a further 3 cents

At least one of the four major fuel companies has today added another 3 cents a litre to the price of petrol and 5 cents to diesel.

BP raised the price of 91 octane to $1.89 a litre and diesel to $1.57, with other companies likely to follow suit.

A spokeswoman for independent fuel company, Gull, said prices remained today at $1.86 a litre for 91 octane and $1.52 for diesel and there were no immediate plans to make adjustments.
