Kiwi motorists deserve an explanation as to why petrol prices have hit another record high, the Automobile Association says. AA petrol spokesman Mark Stockdale said the price for 91 octane had risen to $2.36 in Wellington and $2.34 in Christchurch. Wanaka motorists were feeling the most pain at the pumps, paying $2.50 for a litre of 91, RNZ reports. It's going to be alarming for people to see petrol prices so high. "That will push prices for 91 octane just under $2.40 a litre."
