Price Falls Again at BP
The price of petrol and diesel fell again today with BP decreasing the price of petrol by 5 cents per litre and diesel by 3 cents per litre.
BP Managing Director Peter Griffiths says BP is pleased to be able to pass on another decrease at the pump, the second in the last week.
“The decrease is due to decreases in the international price of refined petrol and diesel.”
“BP monitors these costs daily and is committed to passing on the benefits of lower product prices to motorists as quickly as possible.”
Pump prices in New Zealand are determined by the international price of refined petrol and diesel (purchased in US dollars), the US/NZ exchange rate, taxes and levies, international shipping costs and local operational costs.
Prices at most BP owned service stations have dropped to 158.9 cents per litre for Unleaded 91 and 104.9 cents per litre for diesel.
