Diesel prices drop

Diesel prices have fallen by an average of 2 cents per litre for the week ending May 3 2009.

Diesel prices have taken a dip over the last week with Australian Institute of Petroleum (AIP) figures for the week ended May 3 showing cheaper prices on average in all capital cities by an average of 2 cents per litre.

The AIP data is based on information provided by BP Australia, Caltex, Shell Australia and ExxonMobil.

The fall came despite a rise in oil prices to US$51 a barrel and an announcement by OPEC that it wants to see barrel prices rise to above US$70 a barrel in the near future.
