New Zealand fuel prices hit record highs with no relief in sight
Fuel prices in New Zealand have surged, with some stations charging over $4 per litre for 95 petrol. The national average for 95 petrol is $3.80, up 11% in 28 days, while 91 petrol averages $3.61 and diesel $3.23. Experts attribute the rise to high freight costs, a weak NZ dollar, and geopolitical tensions. They predict prices will remain high until at least Christmas, with no immediate relief expected.
