Petrol prices fall again
The price of petrol has fallen for the fourth time in as many weeks.
All the main petrol companies have cut their prices for lead-free by about four centimes a litre. Drivers will now pay SFr1.35 a litre for lead-free 95 and SFr1.41 for lead-free 98.
The price for diesel remains unchanged.
Petrol is becoming cheaper because of higher production levels in oil-producing countries. Prices are now around 15 centimes a litre less than at their highpoint at the end of June.
“We’re over the worst”, said the head of the Petroleum Association, Rolf Hartl. Analysts say petrol prices could fall further as more oil comes onto the market.
