The volatile world oil market has forced BP to lift its wholesale petrol and diesel price by two cents a litre at midnight tonight (Tuesday, 17 September).

Tomorrow prices at company-owned service stations in the main cities will be $1.08.9 for Unleaded 91 petrol and $1.13.9 for Unleaded Premium. The price of diesel also rises two cents to 70.9 cents. BP Managing Director Peter Griffiths said the situation in the Middle East had pushed up oil prices to a 14 month high.
