This mirrored the moves of Shell, Esso and Caltex, which also raised diesel prices by 7 cents each on Wednesday.
But all five companies held prices for petrol steady — for a second consecutive day.

A litre of 95-octane petrol now costs $2.46 at Cnergy, a dollar lower than the $3.46 at SPC — the lowest among the five major fuel companies in Singapore.
Meanwhile, Smart Energy, which operates three stations — at Defu, Jalan Buroh and Mandai — priced its 95-octane petrol at $2.61 (non-member) and diesel at $2.83.

This comes after Israel struck Iran's major gas field and prompted a threat by Iran to attack oil and gas targets across the Gulf, when it fired missiles at Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
