Petrol has hit a new high price mark, a move that the Automobile Association is condemning as unjustified.

Diesel remains unchanged at $1.64 at most city pumps.
That follows about six weeks in which prices stayed at the same level as the previous record of $2.19 - reached in 2008 after hurricane damage to United States oil fields.
