SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): After an increase at the end of August, fuel pump prices fell over the weekend, with the latest adjustments made on Monday (Sept 19) morning.

Diesel prices fell by either 11 or 12 cents a litre to settle at $2.76 (Sinopec, SPC) and $2.77 elsewhere, according to Fuel Kaki, a pump price tracker run by the Consumers Association of Singapore. All grades of petrol fell by six cents a litre, with the exception of Sinopec's so-called premium-grade 98-octane, which is now 19 cents lower than three weeks ago.
