Pain at the pumps

After four straight weeks of decline, pump prices are to rise this week.

The price of a litre of 87 and 90 gasoline is to rise by $3.02. That’s the biggest increase in gasoline prices since April 22.

The price of gasoline is up 37 per cent since the start of the year.

The price of a litre of automotive diesel is up $3.06, while low sulphur diesel will be sold for $3.06 more.

Kerosene will fetch an extra $3.02. Propane will cost consumers $3.00 more per litre, while butane will attract a further $2.09.

Marketing companies will add their margins to these prices.
