Petrol prices climb by 5c a litre

Fuel prices are moving up again.

BP has led the charge and Mobil says it is following suit this afternoon.

The price of 91 octane has gone up five cents to $1.65.9 and diesel is up four cents to $1.07.9.

The oil companies are attributing the rise to an increase in product prices and the weakening New Zealand dollar.

Shell and Caltex say they are still reviewing their prices.

Gull retail business manager Graham Stirk said his company will not be increasing prices today and will review their prices tomorrow.

He said while there has been pressure on costs of fuel on the international market, the Kiwi dollar is stable.
