A small price rise in January but it took the price of 91 octane petrol up to the magic $2/litre mark. The increase reflects rising oil prices which reached US$100 a barrel, although the impact on the pump price was slightly offset by a stronger NZ$. The price we're paying now is the same as it was when commodity prices were last this high - in September 2008.
| Fuel | Price change | Cost per litre |
| Petrol (91 Octane) | 2 cent increase | $2.00 |
| Diesel | 3 cent increase | $1.37 |
