Petrol prices in Singapore returned to their recent record high on Thursday (April 2) as Caltex and SPC became the first fuel companies here to raise petrol prices again.

They raised petrol prices by 5 cents — across their respective petrol offerings — while increasing their diesel price by 10 cents and 20 cents respectively.

Their moves continued the recent trend of diesel price hikes, but also reversed a respite for petrol customers — lasting a grand total of nine days.
