Fuel prices for 95 octane petrol have surpassed $4 per litre at select service stations in New Zealand. BP in New Lynn, Auckland, advertised 95 octane at $4.11 per litre on Friday, according to reports. The national average for 95 octane stood at $3.80, representing an 11 percent increase over 28 days. Prices for 91 octane averaged $3.61, while diesel averaged $3.23. A few service stations charge above $4 per litre for 95 octane, though most remain below this threshold. AA spokesperson Terry Collins described $4 as a psychological barrier that stations avoid crossing. He predicted little relief in fuel prices, citing increased demand expected next year as a factor maintaining upward pressure. Card spending data indicated a 2.9 percent rise in fuel expenditures during September. ANZ highlighted exceptionally high freight costs, exacerbated by a weak New Zealand dollar, contributing to sustained high import costs for fuel. Economist Miles Workman noted that factors including global oil prices, shipping costs, and the New Zealand dollar show no immediate signs of improvement. He suggested that developments in the Middle East could influence future prices, though any resolution to conflicts there would require time for disrupted oil production to recover. Rebuilding fuel reserves globally might further prolong elevated prices.
