Did price increase again?

Is automobile fuel same? 

Despite a sharp increase in the prices of other petroleum products, oil marketing companies have maintained stability in the prices of automobile fuels. 

In Delhi, the price of petrol remains at Rs 94.72 per liter and diesel at Rs 87.62 per liter. In Mumbai, the price of petrol is Rs 103.44 per liter and diesel at Rs 89.97 per liter.
