Before a discount, the 92—octane unleaded petrol is priced at S$2.053 per litre, the 95 unleaded costs S$2.086 a litre and the 98 grade petrol is now at S$2.16.
The price of diesel now stands at S$1.613 a litre.
This is the second time in a month that pump prices have seen an increase and is the eight since July 2007.
The world price of oil hit another record high of above US$111 in Asian trade, on the dollar’s record low and in turn is leading to another record high for petrol and diesel prices in Singapore. — CNA/vm

wah lan... I wonder how much would I spend going to school when the semester start...
imagine the PAP still charging us $0.44 of tax per litre of petrol
This signals that its time to drive hybrid vehicles
Aiyah.. just like the taxi fare & ERP price hike, this topic will be dead in months. Gahmen say what, you do what. The Bush administration controlling oil reserves so they can make money out of other ppl's suffering. ERP supposedly to "reduce" congestion still everywhere jam. Some more add gantries! Well done leaders of the "FREE" world. Nvmd, we the citizens will bend over & take it up the south end for democracy and help to fill your bank accounts till they're fat, so as to accomodate you paying for your spoilt brats' education overseas and come back to take your place as our future leaders. Charge $10 a litre oso, we as a society will take it. What to do right? We live to serve them.., eh, wasn't it supposed to be the other way around? Not sure le, I see men in white..., I think I'm dying...

I SUPPORT U MAN! LETS GO GREEN!
Hmm, thus we come to a paradox between the survival of the average motorist versus the survival of the planet's resources and ultimately the survival of our planet for our future generation. But wait..., I'm a petrol head... Gimme a CNG car that can hit 200++ km/h before even getting close to hitting redline... Then maybe I'll consider a 'green car'. Anyway seriously, there are too many people with their fat accounts at stake. Hybrids & CNGs are the way to go but we may never see them fully integrated, simply because We are Man, Man like to go fast... :P
