The change means that the maximum cost at the pumps will now be 212.30 cents a litre.

Diesel fuel has also gone up by 1.2 cents a litre with the new maximum price set at 188.80 cents a litre.

Kerosene has also risen in price, going up 1.3 cents a litre and will now cost a maximum of 161.30 cents.
