Fuel rates continue to rise for the 11th day in a row on Thursday, taking the cost of petrol and diesel to a record high. In Mumbai, one litre of petrol is at Rs 85.29/litre as compared to Wednesday's rate of Rs 84.99. The diesel rate in the city is at Rs 72.96/litre. The cost of petrol in Delhi today is at Rs 77.47/litre, and those having diesel cars will have to dish out Rs 68.53 per litre.

In Kolkata too, petrol prices have shot to Rs 80.12 and Rs 80.42 in Chennai. Diesel rates in Kolkata are at Rs 71.08 and Rs 72.35 in Chennai.

According to reports, discussions have been going on between oil marketing companies and the finance ministry on how to deal with rising fuel prices. One of the reasons for the rise in the petrol price is owing to the surge in crude oil prices in the past few months, along with a depreciating rupee against the US dollar. According to the Reuters report, the oil prices fell today, pulled down by the expectations that the OPEC members could increase production amid worries over supply from both Venezuela and Iran.
