Petrol prices have hit record highs across major capital cities, with the spike in prices a result of rising wholesale costs, high oil prices and a weak Australian dollar.
The national single-day average price for Unleaded 91 hit $2.17 on Friday, according to new data from Compare The Market.
But the average prices in Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide were actually above that record-high mark.
The previous high-water mark price was reached in September last year.
