    NZ: Petrol hits NZD 179.9 Per litre for 91 Octane

    Story from Yahoo Xtra news:

    Petrol creeping towards $2 a litre mark
    The days of petrol costing $2 per litre crept nearer today, after one major fuel company raised prices to a record high.

    BP raised its prices at the pumps by two cents to 179.9c for 91 and 185.9 for 93 premium.

    Shell prices remained steady at 177.9c and 182.9c this morning but a company spokesperson said prices were reviewed daily and international oil prices could force a rise.

    Mobil declined to give a price over the phone.

    Any NZer's out there, are you starting to use the car less now?

    If it gets much higher, i think I'll be considering cutting back.

    Gas is expensive. In other news, sky is blue, chocolate makes you fat, and Colin sucks at life.

    We only get 93. but at $3.20 a gallon in Jersey, I can't complain. Sucks to be a fossil fuel user.

    I wish I was in oil already...
    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls
