Another 30c a litre: Kiwi motorists hammered by fresh petrol price surge

Petrol prices in New Zealand have risen by approximately 30 cents per litre since the beginning of September. This increase has pushed the national average for 91 octane fuel to $3.28 per litre.

The surge in fuel prices is attributed to ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, which has kept global oil prices elevated. The increase directly impacts motorists across the country, adding to transportation and living costs.
