The adjustments come amidst surging oil prices as conflict in the Middle East, now in its second week, ensnared countries and places that are critical to the production and movement of oil and gas from the Persian Gulf.
Oil prices on Sunday eclipsed US$100 (S$128) per barrel for the first time in more than three-and-a-half years as the Iran war hinders production and shipping in the Middle East.
It soared further to nearly US$120 a barrel on Monday.
Checks by AsiaOne on the Consumer Association of Singapore's Price Kaki app at 7pm show that Caltex and Esso were the first to raise their posted price for the 95-octane petrol on Monday, followed by SPC in the evening.
