Fuel up now because petrol prices are about to get more expensive for kiwis

From tonight, prices for fuel in New Zealand are expected to jump even higher than they already are.

See you back row on the bus because fuel prices are about to get even more expensive.

This week, kiwis have noticed the price for fuel have shot up but from tonight, it's meant to skyrocket even higher.

Hamilton-based fuel supplier Waitomo Group have warned that the increase in prices overseas is about to hit home for us.

"Today, we've been advised by our supplier that prices are increasing, with the biggest single jump in our wholesale price seen in my time," managing director Jimmy Ormsby said.

"Despite keeping our own costs as low as we can, so we can deliver the fairest pump prices while ensuring we remain sustainable ourselves, we can't absorb all that rise ourselves - so pump prices are going to have to respond.

Honestly, this better be the Warriors year because it definitely isn't anybody elses at this point.
