News Release
BP Drops Price
Again
BP is pleased to have today dropped the price of
both petrol and diesel by four cents per liter due to
continued decreases in the international price of refined
petrol and diesel.
BP Managing Director Peter Griffiths said ``BP will keep passing on the benefits of lower product prices to motorists as quickly as possible.
``However, the international market situation is still very volatile, we will continue to monitor prices on a daily basis.’’
Since the beginning of the month, prices have decreased by 23 cpl for petrol and 22 cpl for diesel.
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.
Petrol prices at most BP owned service stations have dropped to 172.9 cents per litre for Unleaded 91 and 131.9 cents per litre for diesel.

prices.
