Petrol prices continued to rise over the past week and are now about $2 a litre, before an expected dip in the lead-up to Christmas.
Australian Institute of Petroleum (AIP) data published on Monday revealed national average petrol prices rose 1.5 per cent in the past week to 198.9 cents per litre (cpl), capping off a month of massive increases after the federal government’s fuel tax holiday expired.
